← 1964 Seasons 1966 →

The 1965 New York Yankees season was the 63rd season for the Yankees. The team finished with a record of 77–85, finishing 25 games behind the Minnesota Twins. New York was managed by Johnny Keane.

This season marked the beginning of a downturn for the Yankees before a resurgence in the mid-1970s. This was the first season since 1925 that they failed to finish either above the .500 mark or in the first division.[1] They would finish last in 1966, their first time doing so since 1912.
