The Amerivision Song Contest 1964 was the ninth edition of the annual Amerivision Song Contest, organised by the American Broadcasting Union (ABU) and host broadcaster Canal 10. The edition was hosted in the Solís Theatre, in Montevideo, Uruguay, as the country earned the right to host the contest by winning the previous edition.
