The 1907 Yale Bulldogs football team was an American football team that represented Yale University as an independent during the 1907 college football season. The team finished with a 9–0–1 record, shut out nine of ten opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 208 to 10.^[1] William F. Knox was the head coach, and Lucius Horatio Bigelow was the team captain.

Yale was ranked first in the nation by Caspar Whitney in January 1908.^[2] The team was additionally later retroactively named as the national champion by the Billingsley Report, the Helms Athletic Foundation, the Houlgate System, the National Championship Foundation, and Parke H. Davis.^[3]

Four Yale players were selected as consensus first-team players on the 1907 All-America team. The team's consensus All-Americans were: quarterback Tad Jones; fullback Ted Coy; end Clarence Alcott; and tackle Lucius Horatio Biglow.^[4]
