Men's Singles
	2007 Australian Open
Champion	Roger Federer
Runner-up	Fernando González
Final score	7–6(7–2), 6–4, 6–4

Roger Federer was the defending champion, and successfully defended his title, defeating Fernando González in the final 7–6^(7–2), 6–4, 6–4, becoming the first man since Björn Borg in 1980 to win a Grand Slam tournament without dropping a set^[1]^[2] – he was the first to do so in a Grand Slam played on hard courts. Also, Federer reached a record-equalling 7th consecutive Grand Slam final appearance (streak started at the 2005 Wimbledon Championships), after Jack Crawford during the 1930s, and became the first man to reach 11 consecutive Grand Slam semifinals (streak started at the 2004 Wimbledon Championships).

Future US Open champion, three time Grand Slam finalist and World No. 3 Marin Čilić made his first Grand Slam tournament appearance in the main draw, losing in the first round.
