The 1965 Oakland Raiders season began with the team trying to improve on their 5–7–2 record from 1964. The 1965 season was the sixth season in Oakland and in the American Football League. It involved the Raiders' second-place finish in the AFL West Division, with a record of 8–5–1, as they played their home games at Frank Youell Field for the fourth and final season at that venue, before moving to the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum the following season.
