List of teams and cyclists in the 1965 Tour de France

The 1965 Tour de France started with 130 cyclists, divided into 13 teams of 10 cyclists: Ford France–Gitane–Dunlop Margnat–Paloma–Inuri–Dunlop Mercier–BP–Hutchinson Pelforth–Sauvage–Lejeune–Wolber Peugeot–BP–Michelin Flandria–Romeo Solo–Superia Wiel's–Groene Leeuw Televizier Ferrys Kas–Kaskol Molteni–Ignis Salvarani The Molteni-Ignis team was a combined team, with 5 cyclists from Molteni and 5 from Ignis.

Jacques Anquetil, who won the previous four Tours de France (1961–1964), did not participate in this tour; this made Raymond Poulidor, who became second in the previous Tour, the main favourite.
