List of human spaceflights, 1960s

:"For notes, summary and related links, see parent article: List of human spaceflights."

This is a detailed listing of human spaceflights from 1961 to 1969, spanning the Soviet Vostok and Voskhod programs, the start of the Soviet Soyuz program, the American Mercury and Gemini programs, and the the first lunar landings of the American Apollo program.

* - Note: The USA defines spaceflight as any flight reaching an altitude of 50 miles, while the FAI definition requires an altitude of 100 km. During the 1960s, 13 manned flights of the US X-15 rocket plane met the US criteria and only two the FAI's. This list includes only the latter two flights (see the X-15 article for a list of all 13).

*Red indicates fatalities.
*Green indicates suborbital flights (including flights that failed to attain intended orbit).
*Grey indicates flights to the Moon.
