The 2007 Champion Hurdle was a horse race held at Cheltenham Racecourse on Tuesday 13 March 2007. It was the 77th running of the Champion Hurdle.
The winner was Bill Hennessy's Sublimity, a seven-year-old gelding trained in Ireland by John Carr and ridden by Philip Carberry. The victory was the first in the race, for owner, trainer and jockey.
Sublimity won at odds of 16/1 by three lengths from the previous season's winner Brave Inca. The field also included Hardy Eustace, the winner of the race in 2004 and 2005. Eight of the ten runners completed the course.
