The 1967 Detroit Tigers season was the team's 67th season and the 56th season at Tiger Stadium. The team finished tied for second in the American League with the Minnesota Twins with 91 wins and 71 losses, one game behind the AL pennant-winning Boston Red Sox.

The season is notable as during the middle of the 1967 season, a number of home games were cancelled due to the 1967 Detroit riot; this would be the last time a game would be cancelled due to rioting, until the 1992 LA Dodgers had their games cancelled due to the 1992 riots.

  • On April 30, 1967, Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Barber threw a no-hitter versus the Detroit Tigers but lost in a 2–1 final. Barber would become the first pitcher in the history of the American League whose no-hit game ended in a loss.
