The 1907 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Carlton Football Club and South Melbourne Football Club, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 21 September 1907. It was the 10th annual Grand Final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1907 VFL season. The match, attended by 45,477 spectators, was won by reigning premiers Carlton by a margin of 5 points, marking that club's second premiership victory and second in succession.

Right to challenge

This season was played under the amended Argus system. Carlton was the minor premier, and South Melbourne had finished second. The teams both qualified for this match by winning their semi-finals matches.

If South Melbourne had won this match, Carlton would have had the right to challenge South to a rematch for the premiership on the following weekend, because Carlton was the minor premier. The winner of that match would then have won the premiership.
