The 1961 season was Santos Futebol Clube's forty-ninth in existence and the club's first consecutive season in the top flight of Brazilian football.

Background

After finishing the 1959 Campeonato Paulista as runners-up, Santos failed to qualify for the 1960 Taça Brasil. The club would win the state league in 1960, which granted his qualification to the 1961's national championship.
