The 2007 Balearic regional election was held on Sunday, 27 May 2007, to elect the 7th Parliament of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. All 59 seats in the Parliament were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in twelve other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.

On 1 March 2007, the reform of the Statute of Autonomy of the Balearic Islands came into effect.^[1] Among other changes, it gave more autonomy to every Island Council, with the creation of the Island Council of Formentera—formerly the Island Council of Ibiza and Formentera covered both islands—, composed by the municipal councillors elected in the Formentera municipal election. This meant that to elect the island councillors a separate election was held for the first time. Since then, the regional election in every district was used to determine the councillors. The number of seats was the same as before—33 for Mallorca, 13 for Menorca and 13 for Ibiza. The voters had therefore an extra blue ballot to vote for each Island Council, different from the salmon ballot existing for the regional election.
