The 2007 UK Championship (officially the 2007 Maplin UK Championship) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 8 and 16 December 2007 at the Telford International Centre in Telford, England.
Peter Ebdon was the defending champion but he lost 8–9 to Ian McCulloch in the Last 32.
In the final frame of his quarter-final match against Marco Fu, Mark Selby won the longest ever televised frame of snooker, which lasted 77 minutes. This beat the previous record of 74 minutes, which took place between Ebdon and Graeme Dott in the 2006 World Snooker Championship final.
Ronnie O'Sullivan compiled a maximum break in the deciding frame of his semi-final match against Mark Selby, his eighth maximum, equalling the official record of tournament 147 breaks first set by Stephen Hendry. This was the second consecutive ranking tournament where he made a 147.
Ronnie O'Sullivan won his fourth UK Championship title by defeating Stephen Maguire 10–2 in the final. This came one year after O'Sullivan forfeited his quarter-final against Hendry while trailing 4–1. This was the biggest winning margin in a UK final since O'Sullivan himself thrashed Ken Doherty 10–1 six years earlier.
