The 1959 DDR-Oberliga was the eleventh season of the DDR-Oberliga, the first tier of league football in East Germany. Rather than in the traditional autumn-spring format the Oberliga played for six seasons from 1955 to 1960 in the calendar year format, modelled on the system used in the Soviet Union. From 1961–62 onwards the league returned to its traditional format.

The league was contested by fourteen teams.

SC Dynamo Berlin and was knocked out by Rudá Hvězda Brno in the preliminary round.[5]

Bernd Bauchspieß of Chemie Zeitz was the league's top scorer with 18 goals.[6]
