The 2007 Southeastern Conference baseball tournament was held at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, AL from May 23 through 27. After being ranked #1 nationally for most of the season and taking the regular-season SEC crown, Vanderbilt won the tournament and earned the Southeastern Conference's automatic bid to the 2007 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.

This year marked the first time since 1984 LSU did not qualify for the tournament. The Bayou Bengals struggled to a 12–17–1 SEC record under first-year coach Paul Mainieri and finished 29–26–1 overall, LSU's lowest win total since 1983, the year before Skip Bertman came to Baton Rouge.
