The 2007 ICC Africa Under-19 Championship was a cricket tournament held in South Africa from 25–30 August 2007. All matches were held at the Willowmoore Park complex in Benoni, Gauteng.

Namibia won the tournament by defeating Kenya in the final, qualifying for the 2008 Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia. Two African under-19 sides, South Africa and Zimbabwe, are ICC full members, and thus qualified directly for the World Cup. Namibian batsman Sean Silver and Uganda bowler Charles Waiswa led the tournament in runs and wickets, respectively.

The tournament was the second edition of the ICC Africa Under-19 Championships, after the inaugural championship in 2001. In 2003 and 2005, a joint World Cup qualification tournament had been organised by ICC Africa and ICC East Asia-Pacific. The 2007 championships were the last at which there was only a single division – from the 2009 tournament onwards, there have been two divisions.
