The 1966–67 European Cup was the 12th season of the European Cup, UEFA's premier club football tournament. The competition was won by Celtic for the first time, when they beat Inter Milan 2–1 in the final at the Estádio Nacional, Lisbon, on 25 May 1967,[1] making them the first British team, as well as the only Scottish team (as of 2025) to win the trophy. Celtic also became just the second team to win the tournament on their debut appearance after Inter Milan in 1963–64 edition.
Real Madrid were the defending champions, but were eliminated by eventual finalists Inter Milan in the quarter-finals.
The Soviet Union entered its champion for the first time this season.
