The 2007 Euro Beach Soccer Cup was the ninth Euro Beach Soccer Cup, one of Europe's two major beach soccer championships at the time, held in May 2007, in Tarragona, Spain. Ukraine won the championship for the first time, with France finishing second. Portugal beat 2005 champions Switzerland in the third place playoff to finish third and fourth respectively.
