The 1967 Ohio Bobcats football team was an American football team that represented Ohio University in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) during the 1967 NCAA University Division football season. In their tenth season under head coach Bill Hess, the Bobcats compiled an overall record of 6–4 record with a mark of 5–1 against conference opponents, sharing the MAC title with Toledo, and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 210 to 152. Kent State defeated Ohio in conference play, by a score of 21–14, on September 30, but later forfeited that victory because an ineligible player, junior end Ted Chester, had played in the game for the Golden Flashes. The team played home games at Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio.

Ohio's statistical leaders included Dick Conley with 841 rushing yards, Cleve Bryant with 1,157 passing yards, and Todd Snyder with 629 receiving yards.
