The 1964 Danish 2nd Division (Danish: Danmarksturneringens 2. division 1964) was the twenty-ninth season of the Danish second-tier association football division since the establishment of Danmarksturneringen's nation-wide league structure in 1927. Governed by the Danish FA, the season was launched on 29 March 1964, with the match between Ikast FS and Vanløse IF, and the last round of matches concluded in November 1964. Aalborg BK and Køge BK entered as relegated teams from last season's top-flight, while Hvidovre IF and Næstved IF entered as promoted teams from the 1963 Danish 3rd Division. Fixtures for the 1964 season were announced in February 1964.

Hvidovre IF won the league, securing their third promotion in a row after having entered second-tier league for the first time in the club's history, with Aalborg BK becoming the runners-up and returning immediately to the top-flight in the 1965 Danish 1st Division.[4] At the end of the season, the two clubs with the fewest points in the final league standings, Vanløse IF and Randers SK Freja, were relegated to the 1965 Danish 3rd Division.[4] Helge Jørgensen of Odense KFUM became the league's top scorer, netting a total of 24 goals.[1]
