During the 2007–08 English football season, Scunthorpe United F.C. competed in the Football League Championship and in the second tier of English football for the first time since 1964, following promotion from League One the previous season.

Season summary

Before the start of the 2007–08 season, Billy Sharp was sold to Sheffield United for a then-club record £2,000,000. Despite his ostensible replacement, Martin Paterson, scoring 13 league goals, Scunthorpe were unable to cement their place in the second tier of English football, and were relegated in 23rd place. Paterson was then sold to Burnley at the end of the season for a £1,600,000.
