State Highway 67 (SH 67) is a New Zealand state highway located in the northern parts of the South Island of New Zealand. It is 51.2 km long and connects SH 6 with the settlement of Mokihinui. It used to be 96 kilometres long and ran the entire length of the road to Karamea. The highway and its spur serves the large West Coast town of Westport and lies entirely within the Buller District.

Route[]

SH 67 starts at SH 6 and proceeds in a northerly direction until the intersection with SH 67A. There the road turns right and crosses the Buller River to enter the township of Westport. Once in the CBD, the highway turns right and proceeds in an easterly direction until it crosses the Orowaiti River.

The road passes through alternating areas of farmland and temperate rainforest vegetation as it passes the settlements of Waimangaroa (turn right here for Denniston), Granity (turn right here for Millerton, Stockton and Stockton Mine), Ngakwau and Hector. Before Hector the road crosses the Ngakawau River.

Beyond Hector, the road acts as a frontier between the coastline and the adjoining hills until it reaches and Summerlea, where it swings inland towards Mokihinui (turn here to Seddonville). After crossing the Mōkihinui River, the highway number officially terminates here but the road continues on towards Karamea with the red shield superseded by white shields as Regional Route 67 ().
