The 1965 LSU Tigers football team was an American football team that represented Louisiana State University (LSU) as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 1965 NCAA University Division football season. In their fourth year under head coach Charles McClendon, the Tigers complied an overall record of 8–3 with a conference record of 3–3 the SEC, placing in a three-way tie for sixth place in the SEC.[1][2]

Back-to-back losses to Ole Miss and Alabama put LSU's bowl hopes in peril, but wins over Mississippi State and Tulane prompted the Cotton Bowl to extend a bid to the 7-–3 Tigers. The bowl's faith in LSU was rewarded when the Tigers stunned No. 2 Arkansas, 14–7, to stop the Razorbacks' winning streak at 22 games and deny Arkansas a second consecutive national championship.
