An election was held in Nevis on 15 December 1967 to elect members of the newly established Nevis Local Council. The results saw the People's Action Movement win a majority on the council.

This was the first election for the newly founded local government system in Nevis, which along with Anguilla, had been granted its own local council after the Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla legislature had passed the Local Government Act in February 1967.[2][3] Prior to the election in December 1967, the council had been formed by nominated members since April of that year.[4]
