The 1967 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 41st edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 22 teams. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Drumree were regraded from the 1966 S.F.C. The Drumbaragh Emmets club was also reformed as a new club to enter the I.F.C. after a fallout from Gaeil Colmcille (an amalgamation of the Kells Harps and Drumbaragh clubs in 1964). Gaeil Colmcille continued to ply their trade in the senior championship.

This year marked the Garryowen club's (from Kilberry; not to be mistaken with another J.A.F.C. known as Kilberry G.F.C. at the time) first year in existence.

Gaeil Colmcille 'B', Summerhill and Kilallon were promoted after claiming the 1966 Meath Junior Football Championship title, runners-up spot and Junior 'A' Divisional runners-up spot respectively. Castletown's application to be promoted was also granted by the Co. Board.

At the end of the season Ballinabrackey, Garryowen and Rathmolyon applied to be regraded to the 1967 J.F.C.

On 29 October 1967, Seneschalstown claimed their 2nd Intermediate championship title when they defeated Bohermeen 0-11 to 0-3 in the final at Pairc Tailteann.
