== Medal table ==
{{main|1964 Summer Paralympics medal table}}
Athletes from 17 of the 19 [[National Paralympic Committee]]s (NPCs) won at least one medal. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by [[List of IOC country codes|IPC country code]].

With a few exceptions, each event contributed one medal of each type to the table (although for team events, multiple physical medals were actually awarded). Two bronze medals were awarded in the [[Dartchery at the 1964 Summer Paralympics|dartchery]], [[Snooker at the 1964 Summer Paralympics|snooker]] and [[Table tennis at the 1964 Summer Paralympics|table tennis]] events.<ref>{{cite web|title=Medallists  Tokyo 1964 Paralympic Games  Dartchery|url=http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/results.php?competition=1964PG&gender=x&sport=dartchery&discipline=&event=Pairs&eclass=open|publisher=International Paralympic Committee|access-date=12 May 2011|archive-date=31 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120831191332/http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/results.php?eclass=open&sport=dartchery&competition=1964PG&gender=x&discipline=&event=Pairs|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Medallists Tokyo 1964 Paralympic Games Snooker|url=http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/results.php?competition=1964PG&gender=m&sport=snooker&discipline=&event=Snooker%20Event&eclass=paraplegics%20-%20open|publisher=International Paralympic Committee|access-date=12 May 2011|archive-date=11 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140311111111/http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/results.php?competition=1964PG&gender=m&sport=snooker&discipline=&event=Snooker%20Event&eclass=paraplegics%20-%20open|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Medallists Tokyo 1964 Paralympic Games Table Tennis|url=http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/reports.php?type=event&criteria=0&games=1964PG&sport=21|publisher=International Paralympic Committee|access-date=12 May 2011|archive-date=11 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140311111123/http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/reports.php?type=event&criteria=0&games=1964PG&sport=21|url-status=dead}}</ref> Some [[Swimming at the 1968 Summer Paralympics|swimming]] events did not award silver or bronze medals.<ref>{{cite web|title=Medallists Tokyo 1964 Paralympic Games Swimming|url=http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/reports.php?type=event&criteria=0&games=1964PG&sport=20|publisher=International Paralympic Committee|access-date=12 May 2011|archive-date=11 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140311111134/http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/reports.php?type=event&criteria=0&games=1964PG&sport=20|url-status=dead}}</ref>
