The 1967 Dutch Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Zandvoort on June 4, 1967. It was race 3 of 11 in both the 1967 World Championship of Drivers and the 1967 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The race saw the debut of the Lotus 49, equipped with the Ford Cosworth DFV engine. Having tested it for a long time, Graham Hill took pole for the race. By contrast, this was the first time that the other Lotus driver, Jim Clark, ever drove the car, which — combined with mechanical issues — led to him only qualifying in eighth. Hill retired from the lead while Clark started to get a feel for the car as he fought his way through the field to record the car's first victory in its first race. The meeting also saw the first appearance of the Brabham BT24 and the BRM P115, but neither took part in the race.
This was the last Grand Prix for the Lotus 25. Chassis R4 being driven by Chris Irwin, was the same chassis used by Jim Clark to win the 1963 World Drivers' title.

Notes
This was Jim Clark's 24th fastest lap, breaking the old record of 23 fastest laps set by Juan Manuel Fangio at the 1958 Argentine Grand Prix. This was the fourth win of the Dutch Grand Prix for Lotus. This broke the record of wins at Zandvoort by Ferrari at the 1961 Dutch Grand Prix. This was the first pole position, fastest lap, podium finish and Grand Prix win for a Ford-Cosworth-powered car.
