The 2007 East West Bank Classic was a women's tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts. It was the 34th edition of the East West Bank Classic, and was part of the Tier II Series of the 2007 WTA Tour. It took place at the Home Depot Center in Carson, near Los Angeles, California, United States, from August 6 through August 12, 2007.

The singles field featured WTA No. 2, Australian Open runner-up and recent San Diego titlist Maria Sharapova, Charleston and Rome champion Jelena Janković, and French Open finalist and Berlin winner Ana Ivanovic. Also present were Paris titlist Nadia Petrova, Indian Wells champion Daniela Hantuchová, Marion Bartoli, Martina Hingis and Dinara Safina.
