The1964 Pittsburgh Steelers season was the team's 32nd in theNational Football League.

The team played all of their home games atPitt Stadium, and won five games, while losing nine, resulting in a fifth-place finish in theNFL Eastern Conference. Following the season, the Steelers dismissed head coachBuddy Parker and replaced him withMike Nixon.

During the September 20 game against the Giants at Pitt Stadium,Pittsburgh Post-Gazette photographer Morris Bowman snapped a photograph of Giants quarterbackY.A. Tittle, in his 17th and final season, kneeling, his helmet off and his forehead bloody. It happened after defensive tackleJohn Baker hit him, leading to an interception by rookieChuck Hinton, which was returned for a touchdown. The Steelers, who had been down 14-0 at the time, rallied, scoring 20 unanswered points and winning the game 27-24 over the Giants, who were led by backup quarterbackGary Wood for the remainder of the game. The photograph now hangs in thePro Football Hall of Fame inCanton, Ohio.
