The 1967 Ohio State Buckeyes football team was an American football team that represented the Ohio State University in the 1967 Big Ten season. In their 17th year under head coach Woody Hayes, the Buckeyes compiled a 6–3 record (5–2 in conference games), finished in fourth place in the Big Ten, and outscored opponents by a total of 145 to 120. The 1967 team was the last Ohio State team that was not ranked in any week in the AP poll.

The team's statistical leaders included quarterback William Long (563 passing yards, 43.1% completion percentage, five rushing touchdowns), halfback Jim Otis (530 rushing yards, 3.8 yards per carry), and end Billy Anders (28 receptions for 403 yards).
