The 1967 Wisconsin Badgers football team was an American football team that represented the University of Wisconsin as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 1967 Big Ten season. In their first year under head coach John Coatta, the Badgers compiled a 0–9–1 record (0–6–1 in conference games), tied for ninth place in the Big Ten, and were outscored by a total of 224 to 120. Coatta was hired as head coach in December 1966; he had been a quarterback for Wisconsin from 1949 to 1951.

The Badgers gained an average of 165.8 passing yards and 114.2 rushing yards per game. On defense, they gave up an average of 129.2 passing yards and 211.2 rushing yards per game. The team's individual statistical leaders included: quarterback John Boyajian (966 passing yards); running back John Smith (362 rushing yards); and wide receivers Tom McCauley (37 receptions for 525 yards) and Mel Reddick (42 receptions for 524 yards).

Defensive tackle Tom Domres was selected as the team captain and the team's most valuable player. Domres and linebacker Ken Criter won first-team All-Big Ten honors from the Associated Press and United Press International.

The Badgers played their home games at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.
