The men's freestyle 65 kilograms is a competition featured at the 2018 World Wrestling Championships, and was held in Budapest, Hungary on 21 and 22 October.[1]

This freestyle wrestling competition consists of a single-elimination tournament, with a repechage used to determine the winner of two bronze medals. The two finalists face off for gold and silver medals. Each wrestler who loses to one of the two finalists moves into the repechage, culminating in a pair of bronze medal matches featuring the semifinal losers each facing the remaining repechage opponent from their half of the bracket.

Takuto Otoguro from Japan won the gold medal.
