G60 refers to an inline-four cylinder automobile petrol engine, which uses a specific method of forced induction - by way of a specific type of supercharger. The G60 engine was formerly manufactured by the German carmaker Volkswagen Group, and was installed in a limited number and range of 'hot hatch' cars from their Volkswagen Passenger Cars marque from August 1988 to July 1993.

A smaller G40 engine of identical design had earlier been installed in the Mk2 Volkswagen Polo Coupé GT G40 from August 1986 to July 1994.
