The UK Singles Chart is one of many music charts compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling singles of the week in the United Kingdom.[1] Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical singles.[2][3] This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 1967, as well as singles which peaked in 1966 and 1968 but were in the top 10 in 1967. The entry date is when the single appeared in the top 10 for the first time (week ending, as published by the Official Charts Company, which is six days after the chart is announced).

One-hundred and sixteen singles were in the top ten in 1967. Ten singles from 1966 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while "All My Love" by Cliff Richard, "Daydream Believer" by The Monkees, "Magical Mystery Tour (EP)" by The Beatles and "Thank U Very Much" by The Scaffold were all released in 1967 but did not reach their peak until 1968. "Save Me" by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, "Sunshine Superman" by Donovan and "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" by Jimmy Ruffin were the singles from 1966 to reach their peak in 1967. Twenty-nine artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1967. Aretha Franklin, Bee Gees, Cat Stevens, Engelbert Humperdinck, The Monkees and Stevie Wonder were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 1967.

The 1966 Christmas number-one, "Green, Green Grass of Home" by Tom Jones, remained at number one for the first three weeks of 1967. The first new number-one single of the year was "I'm A Believer" by The Monkees. Overall, fourteen different singles peaked at number-one in 1967, with Engelbert Humperdinck and The Beatles (2) having the joint most singles hit that position.
