Parliamentary elections were held in Sudan on 21 April and 8 May 1965. The elections were organized under the Sovereignty Council that had been formed the previous year following the October Revolution. Due to the ongoing First Sudanese Civil War, seats allocated to the Southern Sudan Autonomous Region were left vacant and were not filled until by-elections held on 8 March and 18 April 1967. The elections resulted in a second consecutive victory for the Umma Party, which won 90 of the 173 contested seats. Voter turnout was 56.2%.
