Rankings from NAIA poll

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.[1] Led by head coach Lorne Davies, the 1965 season was the program's inaugural season.[2] 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.[3][4]
