The 2007 Castilian-Manchegan regional election was held on Sunday, 27 May 2007, to elect the 7th Cortes of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. All 47 seats in the Cortes were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in twelve other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.

The Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha were the devolved, unicameral legislature of the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Castilian-Manchegan Statute of Autonomy, as well as the ability to grant or revoke confidence from a President of the Junta of Communities. Voting for the Cortes was on the basis of universal suffrage, with all nationals over eighteen, registered in Castilla-La Mancha and in full enjoyment of all political rights entitled to vote.

The 47 members of the Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha were elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of 3 per 100 of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied in each constituency. Parties not reaching the threshold were not taken into consideration for seat distribution. Additionally, the use of the D'Hondt method might result in an effective threshold over three percent, dependant on the district magnitude. Seats were allocated to constituencies, corresponding to the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo. Each constituency was allocated a fixed number of seats: 10 for Albacete, 11 for Ciudad Real, 8 for Cuenca, 7 for Guadalajara and 11 for Toledo.
