Luge at the 1964 Winter Olympics consisted of three events at Olympic Sliding Centre Innsbruck. The competition took place between January 30 and February 4, 1964.
This was the first appearance of Luge in the Winter Olympics. It was originally scheduled to be added in 1960, but as there was no venue built for it in Squaw Valley, the sport's debut came in 1964.
Germany won five of the nine medals available, including two gold medals.
Twelve nations participated in Luge at the Innsbruck Games.
