The 1964 Oregon Webfoots football team represented the University of Oregon as during 1964 college football season. Home games were played on campus in Eugene at Hayward Field and in Portland at Multnomah Stadium.

Under fourteenth-year head coach Len Casanova, the Ducks were 7–2–1 overall and 1–2–1 in the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU), later renamed the Pacific-8 Conference.

After five seasons as an independent following the end of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC), Oregon joined the AAWU this season, as did Oregon State. The Ducks played only one of the four conference teams from the state of California; a 10–8 loss to Stanford at Portland, decided with a late field goal.

With a perfect record and a #7 ranking after six games (and a ten-game winning streak), Oregon won just one if its final four. The Beavers won the season-ending Civil War by a point with a late touchdown.

Oregon was led on the field by All-American quarterback Bob Berry, who finished thirteenth in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy, just behind Joe Namath (Alabama) and Gale Sayers (Kansas). A fifth-year senior, he had already been selected in the 1964 NFL Draft (and AFL Draft) in late 1963.
