The 2007 Bank of Ireland All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, was a Gaelic football competition in Ireland, and was the most significant and prestigious competition in the sport held that year. It began on 13 May 2007, with the final game took place for Sunday, 16 September. Kerry were the defending champions, as well as the most successful team in the competition. Donegal entered the Championship as the unbeaten National League champions, as well as having been runners-up to Tyrone in the 2007 Dr. McKenna Cup.

The draw for the provincial championships took place on 4 November 2006.

Kerry retained their championship, the first team to do so since Cork won back-to-back titles in 1989 and 1990. The final was the first occasion when two teams from Munster, Kerry and Cork, competed, although not the first with two teams from the same Province. That distinction belongs to the 2003 Championship where two counties from Ulster competed. The final score was Kerry 3-13 Cork 1-09.

Cork's James Masters was the top scorer, with 3 goals and 30 points (3-30: a total of 39 points). He also held the record for the highest individual tally in a match, getting 2-07 (13) in the game against Tipperary.
