The 2007 Bracknell Forest Borough Council election took place on 3 May 2007, to elect all 42 councillors in 18 wards for Bracknell Forest Borough Council in England. The election was held on the same day as other local elections in England as part of the 2007 United Kingdom local elections. The Conservative Party increased its majority at the expense of both the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats, the latter losing its only seat. This was the only all-out council election where the far-right British National Party put up a candidate.
