The 67th Separate Mechanized Brigade (Ukrainian: 67-та окрема механізована бригада, romanized67 okrema mekhanizovana bryhada) was a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces between 2022[8] and 2024.

The brigade was formed on the basis of the Ukrainian Volunteer Corps, the armed wing of far-right political party Right Sector.[9] In April 2024, the Brigade was disbanded, mainly due to the loss of territory in the defense of Chasiv Yar caused by preferential treatment given to Right Sector veterans and failure to reform the old volunteer battalion structure into a standard Ukrainian Armed Forces unit.[1][10]
