The 1967 Primera División season was the 76° season of top-flight football in Argentina. It was the first season in which the Metropolitano and Nacional championships format was used.
Estudiantes (LP) (2° title) won the Metropolitano while Independiente won the Nacional tournament (8° title). At the end of the Reclasificatorio, Unión de Santa Fe and Deportivo Español were relegated.
The "Campeonato Metropolitano" was the first championship of the season. It was contested between twenty-two teams directed affiliated with the Argentine Football Association from March 3 to August 6.
The format championship was in two rounds. The first round saw the 22 teams divided into two groups of 11. They would play within that group in a double round-robin format. In addition, they would play one team in the other group twice (the other team typically being a traditional rival). The top two teams in each group would advance to the semifinals and qualify for the Campeonato Nacional, the next four teams would qualify to the Campeonato Nacional, the next two teams would go to the Promocional tournament, and the bottom three teams would go to the Reclasificatorio. The four teams qualified to the semifinals would then compete in a one leg, single elimination tournament.
Estudiantes de La Plata won the Metropolitano under the leadership of Osvaldo Zubeldía. It was their second Primera División. Paraguayan Bernardo Acosta of Lanús finished as the top goalscorer with 18 goals.
