The 1960 Los Angeles State Diablos football team represented Los Angeles State College—now known as California State University, Los Angeles—as a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) during the 1960 college football season. Led by tenth-year head coach Leonard Adams, the Diablos compiled an overall record of 4–3–1 with a mark of 3–1–1 in conference play, tying for second in the CCAA.
