The St. Louis Cardinals 1967 season was the team's 86th season in St. Louis, Missouri and the 76th season in the National League. The Cardinals went 101-60 during the season and won the NL Pennant, by 10½ games over the San Francisco Giants. They won in seven games over the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, while playing their first full season at Busch Memorial Stadium.

First baseman Orlando Cepeda won the MVP Award this year, batting .325, with 25 home runs and 111 RBIs. Pitcher Bob Gibson and outfielder Curt Flood won Gold Gloves this year.

Curt Flood, whose record streak of 568 consecutive chances in the field without an error ended June 4 when he dropped a fly ball, returned to regular play in late July. His 227-game string had begun September 3, 1965. Once back in the lineup, he batted .373 the rest of the season, finishing fourth in the league at .335.

Gibson was the winning pitcher in three of the four Cardinal World Series wins, winning games 1, 4 and 7. Nelson Briles was the winner in game 3.
