The 1963–64 DDR-Oberliga was the 15th season of the DDR-Oberliga, the first tier of league football in East Germany.

The league was contested by fourteen teams.

SC Leipzig club, later to become 1. FC Lok Leipzig. The nominally weaker players were allocated to BSG Chemie Leipzig which had its Oberliga place returned it had lost to SC Lokomotive in 1954. The fact that the nominally weaker Chemie squad won the league while SC Leipzig only came third is considered to be one of the greatest upsets in the history of East German football.[5]

Football in Karl-Marx-Stadt, now Chemnitz, was reorganised, too with the football department of SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt returning to Aue where it had played despite its name and joining BSG Wismut Aue again. SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt then merged with SC Motor Karl-Marz-Stadt to form SC Karl-Marx-Stadt, now Chemnitzer FC.[6]

East German Footballer of the year was awarded, going to Klaus Urbanczyk of SC Chemie Halle.[8]

On the strength of the 1963–64 title Chemie Leipzig qualified for the

Wiener Sportclub.[9]
