The 2007 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho during the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Idaho competed as a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), and played their home games on campus in the Kibbie Dome. The Vandals were led by first-year head coach Robb Akey, hired following the departure of Dennis Erickson for Arizona State in December 2006.[1][2]

The Vandals were winless in eight conference games and went 1–11 overall,[3] which was Idaho's eighth consecutive season with a losing record. The sole victory came in early September against Cal Poly-SLO, an FCS program.[4][5]

Akey was previously the defensive coordinator at Washington State University in neighboring Pullman.[1][2]
