1967 World Sportscar Championship season
Previous: 1966	Next: 1968

The 1967 International Manufacturers' Championship and International Sports Car Championship seasons were the 15th season of the FIA World Sportscar Championship. It was a series for sports prototypes and grand tourers, with sports prototypes being divided into Sports (S) and Prototype (P) classes, while grand touring cars were referred to simply as GT. It ran from February 4, 1967 to September 3, 1967, and comprised 14 races.

This was the last season to feature hill climb events due to safety concerns over the growing speed of the competitors as well as a return to purely endurance events.
