R7 is an expressway (Slovak: rýchlostná cesta) in southern Slovakia.

It starts in Bratislava and will end near Lučenec. The route starts in Bratislava in an intersection with the D1 motorway, and it continues through its other intersection with the D4 motorway and around the towns of Dunajská Streda, Nové Zámky, Veľký Krtíš and Lučenec, where it ends in an intersection with the R2 expressway. Another intersection with the R3 expressway is planned near the village of Horné Semerovce. The European route E575 will lead through the section between Bratislava and Dunajská Streda. The R7 expressway was included in the expressway network by the Resolution of the Slovak Government from November 10, 2004. Along with the R8 expressway it is the only expressway whose route is not even partially based on plans from before 1989. With the current intentions of the Ministry of Transport, the completion of the entire expressway cannot be expected before 2050.
