The England cricket team toured Australia in the 1965–66 season to play a five-match Test series against Australia for The Ashes. The tour was organised by the Marylebone Cricket Club and matches outside the Tests were played under the MCC name.
The series was drawn 1–1 and therefore Australia retained The Ashes.
