The 2007 IIHF Women's World Championship was the 10th edition of the Top Division of the Women's Ice Hockey World Championship (the 11th edition overall, if the season when only the lower divisions were played is also counted), organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).

The Top Division tournament was held from April 3 to 10, 2007 in Winnipeg and Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada. There were no championships in 2006 due to the Torino Olympic tournament. Games were played at the MTS Centre and Selkirk Recreation Complex.

Canada, led by tournament MVP Hayley Wickenheiser, won its record-extending ninth world championship by defeating the USA 5–1 in the gold medal game. Following Sweden's historic Silver in the Olympics they captured their second world championship Bronze, blanking rival Finland 1–0. This championship was the first women's to have over one hundred thousand attendees, and it held the record for attendance until 2025.

In June 2006, the IIHF expanded Pool A from 8 to 9 teams, restoring Russia, which had been demoted to Division I after the 2005 event. The decision was made due to the success of the 9-team pool in the 2004 Championships. Because of this change, all teams demoted after the 2005 event were restored to their 2005 divisions for 2007. Three new countries entered the tournament for the first time in 2007.
