The 1967 Wagner Seahawks football team was an American football team that represented Wagner College as a member of the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) during the 1967 NCAA College Division football season. In their sixth year under head coach Robert C. Hicks, the Seahawks compiled a 9–0 record (5–0 in conference games), tied for the MAC College–Northern Division championship, and won the Lambert Trophy as the best small-college fotball team in the east. [1] It was one of only three Wagner football teams (along with the 1960 and 1964 teams) to conclude its season with an undefeated record.

On offense, the Seahawks scored 223 points and gained 3,137 yards of total offense (2,308 rushing, 829 passing). On defense, they gave up 42 points and 1,717 yards of total offense (710 rushing, 1,007 passing). [2]

The team's individual statistical leaders included junior quarterback Peter Boatti with 763 passing yards, 1,320 yards of total offense, and 54 points scored; sophomore fullback Thomas Moore; and junior halfback John Casey with 313 receiving yards. [2]

The team played its home games at Fischer Memorial Stadium in the Grymes Hill neighborhood of Staten Island, New York City.
