2007 FIFA Women's World Cup Group B

Group B was one of four groups of nations competing at the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup. The group's first round of matches began on September 11 and its last matches were played on September 18. Most matches were played at the Chengdu Sports Center in Chengdu. All four teams in this group were drawn to Group A in the previous edition, the first time in FIFA tournament's history (three were also in the same group in 1999).

United States topped the group, joined in the second round by North Korea, the only team the United States failed to beat. Sweden surprisingly failed to make the second round.
