The Featherweight class in the boxing at the 1964 Summer Olympics competition was the third-lightest class. Featherweights were limited to those boxers weighing less than 57 kilograms. The competition was held from 13 and 23 October 1964 at Korakuen Ice Palace.[1] 32 boxers from 32 nations competed.[2]

Stanislav Stepashkin from the Soviet Union won the gold medal after defeating Filipino Anthony Villanueva in the final bout, who won the silver medal.
