Provincial Council elections were held in Greenland on 28 April 1967.
Electoral system
Members of the Provincial Council were elected by first-past-the-post voting in 16 single-member constituencies. Political parties or lists were entitled to compensatory seats if they received more than one-sixteenth of the valid votes cast (6.25%).
Results
As the Inuit Party received more than 6.25% of the valid vote, they were entitled to a compensatory seat.

=The initial results in Nuuk showed independent candidates Peter K. S. Heilmann receiving 672 votes, following by Inuit Party candidates Thomas Berthels and Kaj Narup with 313 and 293 respectively. Berthels was declared elected, as the Inuit Party candidate with the most votes. However, the result was challenged and a recount showed Heilmann with 700 votes, Narup with 326 and Berthels with 324, resulting in Narup replacing Berthels in the Provincial Council.
Aftermath
Erik Egede died in 1967 and was replaced by Niels Holm. In 1968 Aron Davidsen was replaced by Erinarteq Jonathansen. In 1969 Kaj Narup was replaced by Peter Nielsen.
