Neoplan N407 was a midibus built by Neoplan, and was the smallest among the Neoplan N400-series buses. It was first showed in 1983, when for long time on German market there was no short low-capacity bus. The bus can carry 52 passengers on board, including 27 passengers with seats.

In 1986 model had a frontwall facelift, the engine was replaced too, although it is a bus produced as a midibus in between a minibus and a full-size single-decker.

Neoplan N407 is used on buslines with a little stream of passengers or in small cities.
