The 2007 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships were held in Duisburg, Germany on 9–12 August 2007 for the record-tying fourth time.

Men race as individuals, pairs and quads over 200 m, 500 m and 1000 m in both Canoe (Canadian) (C) and Kayak (K) events, giving a total of 18 gold medals.

Since Natasa Janics left the legendary pair with Katalin Kovács all K-2 races were ruled by the German paddlers.

However, Katalin Kovács won K-1 1000 m and 500 m, and gained two silvers in the K-4 events, while former partner Natasa Janics won the individual over 200 m. Hungarian team won the K-4 on 1000 m, and Germans the 500 m and 200 m. In the men's races, the C-2 500 m final saw György Kolonics win his fifteenth and final championship title which is an outstanding record in the history of canoe sprint.

Ronald Rauhe and Tim Wieskötter of Germany won their sixth K-2 500 m title in a row.
