The 2007 Kerry Senior Hurling Championship was the 106th staging of the Kerry Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Kerry County Board in 1889. The draw for the preliminary and quarter-final rounds took place on 2 July 2007. The championship ran from 8 August to 7 October 2007.
