The 2007 Stirling Council election was 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 seven new wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004. Each ward elected three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system form of proportional representation. The new wards replaced 22 single-member wards which used the plurality (first past the post) system of election.
