The New York Yankees' 1965 season was the 63rd season for the Yankees in New York and their 65th overall. The team finished with a record of 77-85, finishing 25 games behind the Minnesota Twins. New York was managed by Johnny Keane. The Yankees played at Yankee Stadium.

This season marked the beginning of a transition for the Yankees before a resurgence in the 1970s. This was the first season since 1925 that they had failed to finish above the .500 mark. They would bottom out in 1966.
