The Sanremo Music Festival 1964 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 1964), officially the 14th Italian Song Festival (14º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 14th annual Sanremo Music Festival, held at the Sanremo Casino in Sanremo between 30 January and 1 February 1964.[1] The show was presented by Mike Bongiorno, assisted by Giuliana Lojodice. Gianni Ravera served as artistic director.[1]

According to the rules of this edition every song was performed in a double performance by a couple of singers or groups.[1] The winners of the festival were Gigliola Cinquetti and Patricia Carli with the song "Non ho l'età".[1] Cinquetti went on to perform the song at the Eurovision Song Contest 1964, ultimately securing Italy's first victory in the event.
