General elections were held in the Netherlands on 15 February 1967. The Catholic People's Party (KVP) remained the largest party, winning 42 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives.

The elections led to a four-party centre-right coalition government being formed, consisting of the KVP, People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP) and Christian Historical Union (CHU), led by Prime Minister Piet de Jong.
