No. 67 Squadron was a Royal Australian Air Force maritime patrol squadron of World War II.

No. 67 Squadron was formed at RAAF Base Laverton on 6 January 1943. Equipped with Avro Anson aircraft the Squadron conducted anti-submarine and convoy escort patrols around southern Australia throughout its existence. Due to the very low level of Axis naval activity in this area No. 67 Squadron does not appear to have sighted any enemy ships or submarines during the war. No. 67 Squadron was disbanded on 10 November 1945.
