The runestone U 965, which relates to Holmfrid, is located outside the wall of Vaksala church in Uppsala. It stands alongside three other runestones, U 962, U 963, and U 964.
The inscription on the stone is translated as Holmfrid. It is part of the list of runestones in Uppland and the list of permanent ancient monuments in Uppsala municipality (Vaksala).
