The U-107 class was a class of submarines or U-boats planned for the Austro-Hungarian Navy (German: Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine or K.u.K. Kriegsmarine) during World War I. The design was similar to the Germaniawerft UD design which had formed the basis for the Austro-Hungarian Navy's U-7-class submarines. Two boats (U-107 and U-108) were laid down in early 1918 by Ganz Danubius in Fiume, but neither was launched or completed before the end of the war. No other submarines of the class were ever laid down.
The design for the U-107 class was similar to the Germaniawerft UD design, which had formed the basis of the Austro-Hungarian U-7-class boats that had been ordered in 1913 and had been sold to the Imperial German Navy in the early stages of World War I.
According to Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1906–1921, the specifications of the U-107 class are very unclear. The displacement for the boats was to be 428 t (472 short tons) surfaced and 620 t (680 short tons) submerged. The boats were to be 228 feet (69 m) long with a beam of 23 feet (7.0 m), but of unknown draft. For propulsion, the design featured two shafts, with twin diesel engines of 2,300 bhp (1,700 kW) (total) for surface running, and twin electric motors of 1,260 shp (940 kW) (total) for submerged travel. The speed expected for the boats is not reported in Conway's. The U-107 class boats were designed for a crew of 36 men.
