Season 1964–65 was the 88th football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 58th time, the Scottish Cup for the 70th time and the Scottish League Cup for the 18th time.

Overview

Following a poor start to the league season, which saw only one win taken from the first five games, manager Jackie Fearn resigned, and by the time Willie Toner took over, the season was effectively over, as only another win and a draw had been taken from the subsequent seven matches. An unbeaten run of 8 games in November/December brought some cheer, but in the end only 14th place could be achieved, with 32 points, 27 behind champions Stirling Albion.

In the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton fell to a first round defeat against Queen's Park, after a draw.

In the League Cup, Dumbarton were on the losing side only once in their sectional ties, but too many draws meant that once again qualification for the knock out stages was not achieved.

Locally however, Dumbarton were to regain the Stirlingshire Cup for the third time, with a fine aggregate win over Division 1 opponents Falkirk.
