--

Elections to Fife Council were held on 3 May 2007, the same day as the other Scottish local government elections and the Scottish Parliament general election. The election was the first one using 23 new wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, each ward will elect three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system form of proportional representation. The new wards replace 78 single-member wards which used the plurality (first past the post) system of election.

Scottish National Party and Scottish Liberal Democrats formed a coalition to run the council for the next 5 years.
