The individual eventing was an equestrian event held as part of the Equestrian at the 1964 Summer Olympics programme.

The event was held from 16 to 19 October.

[1] There was a dressage test, an endurance test, and a jumping test.

The penalties accrued in each were summed to give a final score.

It was possible to earn negative penalties in the endurance test; thus, some pairs finished with a negative score.
