The 1964 Gettysburg Bullets football team was an American football team that represented Gettysburg College during the 1964 NCAA College Division football season. The team was the champion of the University Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC).

During their eighth year under head coach Eugene M. Haas, the Bullets compiled a 7–2 record. Ken Snyder and Mark Snyder were the team captains.[1]

Following an upset win against top-ranked Delaware, its third in a row, Gettysburg entered the UPI small college coaches poll, ranked No. 10 in the nation. The team moved up and down in the rankings until the end of the season, and was also considered a top contender for the Lambert Cup. A season-ending loss to Temple ruined its hopes of an undefeated conference record, however, and dropped Gettysburg out of the national top twenty. The Lambert Cup instead went to division rival Bucknell.

Gettysburg went 5–1 against MAC University Division foes, the best winning percentage in the seven-team circuit. This was Gettysburg's only first-place finish during its 12-year tenure in the MAC University Division.

The Bullets played home games at Memorial Field in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The October 24 game was the team's final game at this facility,[2] which was replaced the next year by Musselman Stadium.
