The 2007 America East Conference Baseball Tournament took place from May 24-26 at Farmingdale State Baseball Stadium in Farmingdale, New York.

In the championship game, third-seeded Albany defeated first-seeded Binghamton, 1-0, to win its first tournament championship. As a result, Albany received the America East's automatic bid to the 2007 NCAA Tournament, the program's first.[1][2][3]
