The 1964 NCAA University Division swimming and diving championships were contested at the 28th annual swim meet sanctioned and hosted by the NCAA to determine the individual and team national champions of men's collegiate swimming and diving among its University Division member programs in the United States, culminating the 1963–64 NCAA University Division swimming and diving season.

This was the first championship hosted only for swimming programs in the NCAA's University Division (future Division I). The inaugural College Division (future Divisions II and III) championship was held at the same time at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania and won by Bucknell.

These championships were hosted by Yale University at the Payne Whitney Gymnasium in New Haven, Connecticut during March 1964.

USC once again topped the team standings, finishing five points ahead of Indiana, the Trojans' third overall title and third in four years.[1]
