Provincial Council elections were held in Greenland on 28 April 1967.

Members of the Provincial Council were elected by first-past-the-post voting in 16 single-member constituencies. Political parties or lists were entitled to compensatory seats if they received more than one-sixteenth of the valid votes cast (6.25%).

As the Inuit Party received more than 6.25% of the valid vote, they were entitled to a compensatory seat.

The initial results in Nuuk showed independent candidates Peter K. S. Heilmann [de] receiving 672 votes, following by Inuit Party candidates Thomas Berthels and Kaj Narup [de] with 313 and 293 respectively.^[1] Berthels was declared elected, as the Inuit Party candidate with the most votes. However, the result was challenged and a recount showed Heilmann with 700 votes, Narup with 326 and Berthels with 324, resulting in Narup replacing Berthels in the Provincial Council.^[2]

Erik Egede [de] died in 1967 and was replaced by Niels Holm [de]. In 1968 Aron Davidsen [de] was replaced by Erinarteq Jonathansen [de]. In 1969 Kaj Narup was replaced by Peter Nielsen [de].^[3]
