The 2007 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho during the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Idaho competed as a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), and played their home games in the Kibbie Dome. The Vandals were led by first-year head coach Robb Akey, hired following the departure of Dennis Erickson for Arizona State in December 2006.
The Vandals finished the season with a 1–11 overall record and 0–8 in conference play, which was the team's eighth-straight season with a losing record. Idaho's sole victory came against Cal Poly-SLO, an FCS program.
