Farm to Market Road 1960 (FM 1960) is a farm-to-market road in the U.S. state of Texas, maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation. Its western terminus is at an intersection with U.S. Highway 290 (US 290) and State Highway 6 (SH 6) in northwestern Harris County. It travels generally to the east, ending at SH 321 in Dayton in western Liberty County. FM 1960 has long been an artery in Greater Houston, though it has been shortened and re-routed over the years. Once consisting of most of the current SH 6 in West Houston as well as its current northern route, it still traverses 26 ZIP codes north of the Houston city limits.
FM 1960 is also one of the very few FM roads with a business segment, which runs through the middle of Humble.
Before becoming a Farm to Market road, part of the route was called Jackrabbit Road.
On June 27, 1995, the section west of FM 2100 had its internal designation changed to Urban Road 1960 (UR 1960).[2] The designation of this segment reverted to FM 1960 with the elimination of the Urban Road system on November 15, 2018.[3]
In 2011, the segment from SH 249 to Aldine-Westfield Road was designated as Cypress Creek Parkway in an effort to improve the image of the roadway. Landscaped medians with designated turn lanes replaced the broad open center median originally in place.

Business Farm to Market Road 1960-A (Bus. FM 1960-A) is an east–west business route of FM 1960. It is 4.1 miles (6.6 km) long and is one of only three Business Farm to Market Roads in Texas.[8] The road begins in Houston northeast of George Bush Intercontinental Airport and continues through central Humble as Humble Westfield Road to an intersection with the I-69/US 59 freeway. It then continues as First Street before reconnecting with FM 1960 east of Humble.[9][10]
The route follows a previous alignment of FM 1960 through Humble, which was shifted to its present route through the city on June 21, 1978. At this time, the former alignment was designated State Highway Loop 184. It retained the state loop designation until the current business route was designated on June 21, 1990.[11]
The entire route is in Harris County.
