The 1965 U.S. Figure Skating Championships was held at the (1932) Olympic Arena in Lake Placid, New York, from February 10 to 13, 1965. Medals were awarded in three colors: gold (first), silver (second), and bronze (third) in four disciplines – men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice.
The event determined the U.S. team for the 1965 World Championships.
