Venus Williams defeated Marion Bartoli in the final, 6–4, 6–1 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2007 Wimbledon Championships. It was her fourth Wimbledon singles title and sixth major singles title overall. Williams, ranked 31st at the time and seeded 23rd, was the lowest-ranked and lowest-seeded woman ever to win Wimbledon (a record later surpassed by Markéta Vondroušová in 2023). Williams became the first women's champion to earn the same amount of prize money as the men's champion, following the tournament's decision to award equal pay for the first time that year: a cause championed by Williams herself.

Amélie Mauresmo was the defending champion, but lost to Nicole Vaidišová in the fourth round.

Bartoli reached her first major final after a semifinal victory over world No. 1 Justine Henin that was described as one of the biggest shocks in Wimbledon history.

This was the first Wimbledon main draw appearance of future champion and world No. 1 Angelique Kerber, who lost to Anna Chakvetadze in the first round.
