Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on December 7, 1964. Incumbent mayor Philip Givens defeated former mayor Allan Lamport.
Philip Givens had become mayor in late 1963 after the unexpected death of Donald Dean Summerville. He had previously served many years on city council. He was opposed by Allan A. Lamport, a veteran politician who had served as mayor a decade earlier from 1952 to 1954. Both candidates were affiliated with the Liberal Party, but Lamport ran on a more conservative platform.
