The 1965–66 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1965-66 NCAA Division I college basketball season. Tommy O'Keefe coached them in his sixth and final season as head coach. The team was an independent and played its home games at McDonough Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus in Washington, D.C..

In the 1964-65 season, Georgetown had started strong, raising hopes for a post-season tournament berth, but lost seven of its final 10 games to drop out of consideration for post-season tournament berth. The 1965-66 Hoyas had a mediocre start, but began the new year of 1966 with eight straight wins. They won 11 of their last 14 to post the best record of O'Keefe's tenure as head coach, finishing at 16-8, but it was not enough for them to receive an invitation to a post-season tournament.

O'Keefe was a part-time coach, and after the end of the season he opted to leave coaching to devote himself full-time to his business concerns.^[1] He departed with a winning record (82-60) and no sub-.500 performances by the team, but also without the Hoyas having appeared in the post-season during his six years as head coach.

The team was not ranked in the Top 20 in the Associated Press Poll or Coaches' Poll at any time.^[2]^[3]

Roster

From the 1958-59 season through the 1967-68 season, Georgetown players wore even-numbered jerseys for home games and odd-numbered ones for away games; for example, a player would wear No. 10 at home and No. 11 on the road. Players are listed below by the even numbers they wore at home.^[4]
