The 1964 New York Jets season was the fifth season for the team in the American Football League (AFL). The season marked their first in Shea Stadium, after four seasons in the Polo Grounds. The season began with the team trying to improve on their 5–8–1 record from 1963 under head coach Weeb Ewbank. The Jets finished the season 5–8–1. The Jets' popularity had reached a zenith at this point, in that the attendance at any one of their home games this season (except for one, and it wasn't by much) outdrew the Titans' entire 1962 season attendance at the Polo Grounds.
