    The 1965–66 DDR-Oberliga was the 17th season of the DDR-Oberliga, the first tier of league football in East Germany.

    The league was contested by fourteen teams.

    FC Vorwärts Berlin won the championship, the club's fifth of six national East German championships all up.[3][4]

    On the strength of the 1965–66 title Vorwärts qualified for the 1966–67 European Cup where the club was knocked out by Górnik Zabrze in the first round. Seventh-placed club BSG Chemie Leipzig qualified for the 1966–67 European Cup Winners' Cup as the seasons FDGB-Pokal winner and was knocked out by Standard Liège in the second round. Third-placed 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig qualified for the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup where it was knocked out in the quarter finals by Kilmarnock F.C.[7]

    In December 1965 and January 1966 East German football saw a major restructuring with the introduction of

    1966-67 DDR-Oberliga. With the exception of FC Vorwärts Berlin, all football clubs retained their name until the disbanding of the Oberliga in 1991 and, in some cases, beyond that.[8][6]
