The '''1965 [[National Hockey League|NHL]] [[NHL entry draft|amateur draft]]''' was the third NHL entry draft. It was a [[draft (sports)|draft]] to assign unaffiliated amateur junior-age players to NHL teams. It was held on April 27, 1965, at the [[Queen Elizabeth Hotel]] in [[Montreal]], [[Quebec]].

For the first time the eligibility rules were changed for the 1965 draft. The minimum age criterion was increased, to 18 from 16 years. Clubs were not permitted to begin negotiations with the selected players until they reached 19 years of age, and the date from which they were ineligible due to being on club sponsorship lists was pushed back from May 23 to April 1.

The NHL also reached an agreement with the [[American Hockey League|AHL]], [[Central Professional Hockey League|CHL]] and [[Western Hockey League (1952–1974)|WHL]], allowing their clubs to participate in the draft. After the NHL clubs made their selections the clubs from the other three leagues were permitted to make their own selections. Each AHL and WHL club was allowed three picks, while each CHL team was allowed two.

The general consensus on the part of each participatory club was that the talent pool from which to draft was exceptionally poor. The majority of amateur players falling within the new age rules had already been sponsored, if not turned professional. 11 picks were made, which to this date remains the lowest ever in an NHL draft. Only two players played in the NHL: [[Pierre Bouchard]] and [[Michel Parizeau]].

The pool of available player talent was considered so poor that the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]] elected not to participate whatsoever. The only non-NHL club to exercise their right to make a selection was the [[Pittsburgh Hornets]] of the AHL, who picked [[Junior hockey#Junior B, C, D|Junior C]] player Gary Beattie with the 11th, final pick.
