The '''2007 African Olympic Qualifier''' was the first edition of the African [[field hockey]] qualification tournament for the [[Field hockey at the Summer Olympics|Summer Olympics]] for [[Men's African Olympic Qualifier|men]] and [[Women's African Olympic Qualifier|women]]. It was held from 14 to 22 July 2007 in [[Nairobi]], Kenya. The winners of each tournament qualified for the [[Field hockey at the 2008 Summer Olympics|2008 Summer Olympics]].

[[2007 All-Africa Games]] were supposed to be the African qualifier for 2008 Olympics, but as the host country [[Algeria]] lacks suitable venues, field hockey was not part of the games, forcing the [[African Hockey Federation]] to hold a separate tournament.<ref>Ghanaweb, April 20, 2007: [http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/can2008/artikel.php?ID=122748 2007 All Africa Games - Hockey to be Played Simultaneously in Nairobi]{{Dead link|date=April 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
