The 1967 Saskatchewan general election was held on October 11, 1967, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada.

The Liberal Party of Saskatchewan, led by Premier Ross Thatcher, was re-elected with a slightly larger majority in the legislature and a larger share of the popular vote.

The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation had changed its name to the New Democratic Party to match the change that had already been made at the federal level. Still led by former Premier Woodrow Lloyd, the NDP also won an increased share of the popular vote but lost one of the seats that the CCF had won in the previous election.

The Liberal and NDP gains in the popular vote came at the expense of the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan of Martin Pederson, which lost about half of its votes. Pederson finished third in the constituency he had won three years earlier, and no other PC members were elected. However, a PC candidate finished second in Athabasca.

It was the first election in which the cities of Saskatoon and Moose Jaw were divided into two or more single-member constituencies instead of having a single city-wide multiple-member district for each city. Previously since 1921 those two cities (and Regina from 1921 to 1964) had elected their MLAs through Plurality block voting, but starting in this election, MLAs in Saskatoon and Moose Jaw were elected through First past the post.

It was the last election, as of 2020, in which the leaders of both the government and the opposition in Saskatchewan represented rural constituencies. It was also the last election contested by the Social Credit Party, which nominated six candidates. To date this is the last election in which the Saskatchewan Liberal Party won a majority of seats.
