The1967 NCAA Men's University Division Ice Hockey Tournament was the culmination of the1966–67 NCAA University Division men's ice hockey season, the 20th such tournament inNCAA history. It was held between March 16 and 18, 1967, and concluded withCornell defeatingBoston University 4–1. All games were played at theOnondaga County War Memorial inSyracuse, New York.
This was the first championship for an eastern team since1954 and the first time since1949 that both finalists were from the east.
Four teams qualified for the tournament, two each from the eastern and western regions. TheECACtournament champion and the twoWCHAtournament co-champions received automatic bids into the tournament. An at-large bid was offered to a second eastern team based upon both their ECAC tournament finish as well as their regular season record.

| 2 | Cornell | ECAC Hockey | 25–1–1 | Tournament champion | 1st | Never | 2 | Michigan State | WCHA | 15–14–1 | Tournament co-champion | 3rd | 1966 |
Despite winning the tournament the ECAC champion was not seeded as the top eastern team; this occurred because the at-large team had a better conference regular season record. The WCHA co-champion with the better regular season record was given the top western seed. The second eastern seed was slotted to play the top western seed and vice versa. All games were played at the Onondaga County War Memorial. All matches wereSingle-game eliminations with the semifinal winners advancing to the national championship game and the losers playing in a consolation game.
