The 1965 Simon Fraser Clan football team, also known as the Clansmen, was a Canadian college football team, playing American football rules, that represented Simon Fraser University as an independent during the 1965 NAIA football season. Led by head coach Lorne Davies, the 1965 season was the program's inaugural season. The Clan played two home games at Queen's Park Arena in New Westminster while Empire Stadium in Vancouver hosted a game.
The team's schedule consisted of five exhibition games, with the Clan finishing with a record of 2–3. The two victories came against the Vancouver Kats and the Bellingham Bell-Jets, both members of the semi-professional North Pacific Football League.
