The European Cup of National Champions 1963/64 was the 9th edition of the competition. 31 club teams took part, including 30 national champions from the previous season and the defending champions with AC Milan .

The final took place on May 27, 1964 in the Prater Stadium in Vienna in front of 72,000 spectators. Inter Milan won the cup for the first time with 3-1 against Real Madrid . Joint top scorer were Vladimir (Vladica) Kovačević (FK Partizan Belgrade), Sandro Mazzola (Inter Milan) and Ferenc Puskás (Real Madrid) with seven goals each.
