The 1965 Porirua mayoral election was part of the New Zealand local elections held that same year. The elections were held for the role of Mayor of Porirua plus other local government positions including ten city councillors, also elected triennially. The polling was conducted using the standard first-past-the-post electoral method.
This was the first election held after Porirua's proclamation as a city by the Governor-General earlier the same month on 2 October.[1] The incumbent mayor, Whitford Brown, was decisively re-elected over councillor Alf Mexted. Both mayoral candidates stood for the city council as well and were successful.[2]
