This is a list of earthquakes in 1907. Only magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquakes appear on the list. Lower magnitude events are included if they have caused death, injury or damage. Events which occurred in remote areas will be excluded from the list as they wouldn't have generated significant media interest. All dates are listed according to UTC time. A fairly active year with 17 magnitude 7.0+ events. Tajikistan had 12,000 deaths from an event in October. Jamaica suffered from an event in January which caused 1,000 deaths.
