State Trunk Highway 67 (often called Highway 67, STH 67 or WIS 67) is a Wisconsin state highway running from the Wisconsin/Illinois state line east of Beloit, Wisconsin north to U.S. Highway 151 east of Chilton, Wisconsin. With the inclusion of the new Oconomowoc bypass, Highway 67 is approximately 160 miles (260 km) in length.

Highway 67 meanders through much of Southeastern Wisconsin, passing through both the northern and southern units of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. It ends just south of the Killsnake State Wildlife Area in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.
