General elections were held in Tunisia in November 1964 to elect a President and Chamber of Deputies. A year earlier, the country had been formally declared a single-party state with the Socialist Destourian Party (PSD) as the sole legal party.[1] However, the country had effectively been a one-party state since independence in 1956.

In the presidential election, incumbent Habib Bourguiba, was the only candidate, and was re-elected unopposed. In the Chamber election, the PSD won all 90 seats.[2] Voter turnout was 96.8%.[3]
