The 1965 Pacific Coast League season was the 63rd season in the league's history. It ended with the Oklahoma City 89ers winning their second league championship in three years.

The Kansas City Athletics placed their Triple-A affiliate in Vancouver, BC, resurrecting the Vancouver Mounties.

This was the final season in the PCL for the Arkansas Travelers. The Giants moved their Triple-A affiliate from Tacoma to Phoenix and the Cubs moved theirs from Salt Lake City to Tacoma after the season.
