The 1967 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 81st staging of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament. The championship began on 23 April 1967 and ended on 24 September 1967.

Galway entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were defeated by Mayo in the Connacht semi-final.

On 24 September 1967, Meath won the championship following a 1-9 to 0-9 defeat of Cork in the All-Ireland final.[1] This was their third All-Ireland title and their first in thirteen championship seasons.

Cavan's Charlie Gallagher was the championship's top scorer with 1-25. Meath's Bertie Cunningham was the choice for Texaco Footballer of the Year.
