The Eurovision Song Contest 1965 was the tenth annual Eurovision Song Contest. It was held in Naples, Italy, following the Italian victory at the previous edition.

Ireland made its debut while Sweden returned and no country withdrew. Belgium, Finland, Germany and Spain each scored "nul points" for the second time.

Luxembourg won for the second time with the song "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", performed by France Gall. It was also the first winning song in six years that was not a ballad.
