This is a list of candidates for the 1860 New South Wales colonial election. The election was held from 6 to 24 December 1860.
There was no recognisable party structure at this election.
Sitting members are shown in bold text. Successful candidates are highlighted.
Electorates are arranged chronologically from the day the poll was held. Because of the sequence of polling, some sitting members who were defeated in their constituencies were then able to contest other constituencies later in the polling period. On the second occasion, these members are shown in italic text.
