The GAZ-67 and the subsequent GAZ-67B were general purpose four wheel drive Soviet military vehicles built by GAZ starting in 1943 and largely inspired by the American Jeep, which was first provided to the Soviet Union as part of the Lend-Lease program in 1942.

The GAZ-67 was a further development of the earlier GAZ-64. It was powered by a GAZ M1 4-cylinder 3280cc gasoline motor with 50 hp (37 kW) that could propel it to a top speed of 90 km/h. Production started in September 1943. About a year later, it was replaced by the GAZ-67B, which had a wider track, enlarged fuel tank, and a more powerful motor (54 hp (40 kW)), among other improvements.
