The Featherweight class in the boxing at the 1964 Summer Olympics competition was the third-lightest class. Featherweights were limited to those boxers weighing less than 57 kilograms. The competition was held from 13 and 23 October 1964 at Korakuen Ice Palace.[1] 32 boxers from 32 nations competed.[2]

Stanislav Stepashkin from the Soviet Union won the gold medal after defeating Filipino Anthony Villanueva in the final bout, who won the silver medal. The losing semifinalists, Charles Brown from the United States and Heinz Schulz representing the United Team of Germany, both received bronze medals.

In his first round bout, Spanish boxer Valentín Loren punched a Hungarian referee in the face after being disqualified; he was banned for life from international competition.[3]
