The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) held their third dispersal draft on January 8, 2007.
This dispersal draft re-assigned players from the Charlotte Sting who folded in December 2006, after the end of the 2006 WNBA season. The remaining thirteen active teams in the WNBA each selected one player from the 2006 Sting roster in the one-round draft. Teams drafted in inverse order of their 2006 regular season finish.
All Sting players were available except for unrestricted free agents, Allison Feaster and Tammy Sutton-Brown. Two players from the Sting, Tasha Butts and Summer Erb, were not selected in the dispersal draft and became free agents on January 15.
