We report extensive photometry of the dwarf nova V660 Herculis. During our campaign, lasting from August 2003 to November 2004, we recorded one bright eruption which turned out to be a superoutburst lasting about 15 days and having amplitude of ~4.5 mag. Clear superhumps with a mean period of Psh = 0.080924(18) days were present during all nights of the superoutburst. The period of the superhumps was not stable and in the interval covered by our observations it decreased with a rate of -4.0(1.4) * 10^{-5}. Basing on our data and the known orbital period of the binary (Thorstensen and Fenton 2003) we calculate the period excess of 3.4 +/- 0.1%, which is typical for an SU UMa star at this orbital period. This value indicates that the mass ratio of the system is q=0.154.
