Summer 1967: The Complete U.S. Concert Recordings is a four-CD compilation of live recordings by the American pop rock band the Monkees, released in 2001 by Rhino Handmade. Recorded during the band's summer 1967 tour, the CD was a limited edition release, with 3,500 copies being made available. 16 of these tracks had previously been compiled by Rhino and released as Live 1967 in 1987.

The tour began after the May release of the band's third album, Headquarters (1967), and the bulk of the material was culled from that album, in addition to their biggest singles from the first album, The Monkees (1966), and second album, More of the Monkees (1967). There were also a quartet of cover songs, with each of the Monkees choosing one to perform with their opening act, the Sundowners.

The set list for each CD is identical, as the band performed the same group of songs in order at each show.
