The 1967 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University in the 1967 NCAA college football season. The Beavers ended this season with seven wins, two losses, and a tie. The Beavers scored 187 points and allowed 137 points. Led by head coach Dee Andros, Oregon State finished tied for second in the Athletic Association of Western Universities (then informally known as the Pacific-8, a name it would officially adopt the following year) for a second consecutive year. In a four-week period, the Beavers became the only team to ever go undefeated against three top two teams in one season since the inception of the AP Poll, earning the nickname "Giant Killers".
The Beavers finished the season with a 7–2–1 record, 4–1–1 in the Athletic Association of Western Universities. Ranks are based on the time the game was played.
Oregon State ended the 1966 season on a six-game winning streak. Nobody expected much out of the Beavers in 1967; even the Oregon State media guide said that the Beavers would be "rebuilding" in 1967. Quarterback Paul Brothers, who led Oregon State to the 1965 Rose Bowl as a sophomore, and fullback Pete Pifer, the Beavers' all-time leading rusher, graduated in 1966. Dee Andros gave the starting quarterback job to junior, Steve Preece, the wunderkind Andros had recruited from Idaho shortly after he took the head coaching job at Oregon State. Another newcomer on offense was junior fullback, Bill "Earthquake" Enyart. Enyart spent his first two years backing up Pifer. However, Enyart was too talented to keep off the field, earning All-Coast honors at linebacker. The 1967 team only boasted six seniors.
