The 2007–08 season was the 108th season in Società Sportiva Lazio's history and their 20th consecutive season in the top-flight of Italian football.

On 11 November 2007, a Lazio supporter, Gabriele Sandri was fatally wounded in an argument between Lazio and Juventus supporters, resulting in the police intervening and ultimately killing Sandri, who was not directly involved with the quarrel.
