The 1965 NBA draft was the 19th annual draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The draft was held on May 6, 1965, before the 1965–66 season.

In this draft, nine NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players. A player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was eligible for selection. If a player left college early, he would not be eligible for selection until his college class graduated. Teams that finished last in each division, the San Francisco Warriors and the New York Knicks, were awarded the first four picks in the draft. The remaining first-round picks and the subsequent rounds were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season.

Before the draft, a team could forfeit its first-round draft pick and then select any player from within a 50-mile radius of its home arena as their territorial pick.{{cite news|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nba/2003715404_lotterytimeline21.html|title=How the NBA draft became a lottery|work=The Seattle Times|publisher=The Seattle Times Company|date=May 21, 2007|access-date=September 10, 2009}}{{cite news|title=Lakers Select Baylor In NBA Draft Meeting|newspaper=The Daily Collegian|publisher=Pennsylvania State University|date=April 23, 1958|url=http://digitalnewspapers.libraries.psu.edu/Default/Skins/BasicArch/Client.asp?Skin=BasicArch&&AppName=2&enter=true&BaseHref=DCG/1958/04/23&EntityId=Ar01102|access-date=September 29, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410205729/http://digitalnewspapers.libraries.psu.edu/Default/Skins/BasicArch/Client.asp?Skin=BasicArch&&AppName=2&enter=true&BaseHref=DCG%2F1958%2F04%2F23&EntityId=Ar01102|archive-date=April 10, 2016|url-status=dead}} The draft consisted of 17 rounds comprising 112 players selected.

The Los Angeles Lakers had intended on selecting Wayne Estes, a Montana native who played for the Utah State Aggies, in the first round. However, Estes died on February 8, 1965, aged 21, when he was electrocuted by a downed wire at the scene of an auto accident he and teammates were visiting. Less than two hours before dying, Estes completed a game where he scored 48 points; his 47th point of the game was also the 2,000th of his college career.{{cite web|url=https://www.deseret.com/2015/9/15/20572343/the-late-great-wayne-estes-and-what-might-have-been#wayne-estes-submission-date-08-06-2002|title=The late, great Wayne Estes ... and what might have been|website=Deseret News|last=Robinson|first=Doug|date=15 September 2015|access-date=26 September 2020}}
