The Sixty-Seventh Wisconsin Legislature convened from January 10, 1945, to September 6, 1945, in regular session, and reconvened in a special session in July 1946.[1]

This legislative term saw the end of World War II and the establishment of the United Nations. The term also saw the end of the Wisconsin Progressive Party, which formally disbanded at a 1946 convention.[2]
