The 1967 Colorado Buffaloes football team represented the University of Colorado at Boulder as a member of the Big Eight Conference during the 1967 NCAA University Division football season. Led by fifth-year head coach Eddie Crowder, the Buffaloes compiled an overall record of 9–2 with a mark of 5–2 conference play, tying for second place in the Big 8. Colorado was invited to the Bluebonnet Bowl, where they beat the Miami Hurricanes.

Colorado played in the inaugural game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, a 17–13 victory over the Oregon Webfoots. For the first time in six years, the Buffaloes defeated Nebraska, the conference champion the previous four years.[1] Colorado did not win another game in the rivalry until 1986.[2]

Senior safety Dick Anderson was a consensus All-American and played ten years with the Miami Dolphins.
