This is a list of members of parliament appointed to represent the various constituencies of Ghana in 1965.

Composition

In 1964 a constitutional amendment was passed by the CPP majority in parliament to make the country a One-party state. All members of the 1965 parliament therefore belonged to one political party; the Convention People's Party. Additional constituencies were created compared to the previous parliament and 10 females were appointed to parliament by the President. All were members of the Convention Peoples Party.
