The 1964–65 Regionalliga was the second Regionalliga season. The league operated in five regional divisions, Berlin, North, South, Southwest and West.

Western and southern champions Borussia Mönchengladbach and FC Bayern Munich were promoted. Additionally, the third placed team in Berlin, SC Tasmania 1900 Berlin, was also promoted to replace Hertha BSC, which had their Bundesliga licence revoked.

North

The 1964–65 season saw two new clubs in the league, SC Göttingen 05 and Rasensport Harburg, both promoted from the Amateurliga while no club had been relegated from the Bundesliga to the league.
