The 1967 San Francisco 49ers season was the franchise's 18th season in the National Football League, their 22nd overall, and their fifth and final season under head coach Jack Christiansen, who was let go following the end of the season. The 49ers had two first-round picks and drafted Heisman Trophy winner Steve Spurrier with one of those draft picks.
The 49ers attempted to improve on their record from the previous season, and make the playoffs for the first time in 9 years. Despite starting 5-1, the 49ers would win only 2 of their last 8 games, and ultimately ended their season 7-7, missing the playoffs for the 10th straight year.
