The 2007 Women's British Open was the 31st Women's British Open, held 2–5 August at the Old Course at St Andrews in Fife, Scotland. It was the seventh as a major championship on the LPGA Tour and the first-ever women's professional event at the Old Course.[4][5]

Lorena Ochoa shot a bunker-free and bogey-free 67 (−6) in the opening round and led wire-to-wire to win the first of her two major titles, four strokes ahead of runners-up Maria Hjorth and Jee Young Lee.[4][5][6][7]

Prior to Ochoa, the last to win a first major at the Old Course was Tony Lema, 43 years earlier in 1964.[4] This was the first Women's British Open sponsored by Ricoh, the previous twenty were by Weetabix.
