The 1967 National Invitation Tournament was a single-elimination postseason college basketball tournament. Fourteen National Collegiate Athletic Association teams, 13 from the University Division and one from the College Division, participated in the tournament. Southern Illinois, in their final season as a College Division team, defeated Marquette, 71–56, in the championship game, becoming the only non-Division I/University Division team to win the tournament. After the NCAA began operating the NIT in 2006, non-Division I teams were no longer eligible to participate. SIU's Walt Frazier was the tournament MOP.
