The Blériot 67 was a 1910s French day bomber prototype designed and built by Blériot for a 1916 competition Concours des Avions Puissants. [1] Only a prototype was built and the type did not enter production.[1]

The Blériot 67 was a large equal-span biplane with a fuselage braced between the two wings, the four 100 hp (75 kW) Gnome 9B rotary engines were mounted as close to the centreline as possible, two on the upper wing leading edge and two on the lower wing.[1] It had a biplane tail with three fins and a fixed conventional landing gear with twin-wheel main units.[1]
