The 67th Separate Mechanized Brigade (Ukrainian: 67-та окрема механізована бригада, romanized67 okrema mekhanizovana bryhada) is a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces created in 2022.[7]

The brigade was formed on the basis of the Ukrainian Volunteer Corps, the paramilitary arm of right-wing Ukrainian nationalist party Right Sector.[8] In April 2024, soldiers and commanders from the Ukrainian Volunteer Corps started being transferred to other units, 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.[9][10]
