The 67th United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, consisting of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, D.C. from March 4, 1921, to March 4, 1923, during the first two years of Warren Harding's presidency. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the Thirteenth Census of the United States in 1910.

The Republicans increased their majorities in both chambers - gaining supermajority status in the House - and with Warren G. Harding being sworn in a U.S. President, this gave the Republicans an overall federal government trifecta for the first time since the 61st Congress in 1909.
