The 1964 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Collingwood Football Club and Melbourne Football Club, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 19 September 1964. It was the 67th annual Grand Final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1964 VFL season. The match, attended by 102,471 spectators, was won by Melbourne by a margin of 4 points, marking the club's 12th premiership victory.

This would be the last premiership won by Melbourne until 2021, when it won that year's flag at Optus Stadium in Perth after an ongoing COVID-19 lockdown in Victoria prevented the match from being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. As such, this remains the most recent time Melbourne has won a premiership at home.[1][2]
