The 1967 World Open Snooker Championship was a series of 51 matches between Fred Davis and Rex Williams for the title won by Davis at the 1960 World Open Snooker Championship.

Fred Davis had won the 1960 World Open Snooker Championship, which had been held in Australia with eight players competing in a round-robin.

Everton claims that Davis remarked "I had a devil of a job to let him win.

Williams was presented with the trophy by Harold Phillips, Chairman of the Billiards Association and Control Council, after the final match, which was held at Ferranti Recreation, Manchester.
