The 1964 Baden-Württemberg state election was held on 26 April 1964 to elect the members of the 3rd Landtag of Baden-Württemberg. The incumbent Christian Democratic Union (CDU) government under Minister-President Kurt Georg Kiesinger was re-elected.

Following the 1960 Baden-Württemberg state election, Minister-President Kurt Georg Kiesinger had formed a coalition of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Free Democratic Party (FDP), and All-German Party. Following the election, Kiesinger remained Minister-President, and the coalition agreement between the CDU and FDP was renewed; with the All-German Party failing to win any seats in the Landtag. In 1966, Kiesinger became Chancellor of West Germany and was succeeded by Hans Filbinger as Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg prior to the 1968 Baden-Württemberg state election.
