The 2007 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament involved 65 NCAA schools playing in a single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division I college basketball as a culmination of the 2006–07 basketball season. Team selections were announced on March 11, 2007, and the tournament began on March 13, 2007, with the play-in game between Florida A&M and Niagara, and concluded with the championship game on April 2, 2007 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

Both of the finalists from the year before returned to the Final Four as Florida, who was returning its entire starting lineup from the year before, and UCLA advanced. They were joined by Ohio State, who was making its first appearance since their 1999 appearance (later vacated), and Georgetown, appearing for the first time since their national runner-up finish in 1985.

Florida defeated Ohio State in the final game 84-75 to win their second consecutive championship. This marked the second time in 2007 that a Florida team beat an Ohio State team to win a national championship, as Florida's football team won the BCS National Championship Game over Ohio State in January.

Florida's Corey Brewer was named the Most Outstanding Player. Florida became the first team to repeat since the 1991-92 Duke Blue Devils.
