The 2007 African Olympic Qualifier was the first edition of the African field hockey qualification tournament for the Summer Olympics for men and women. It was held from 14 to 22 July 2007 in Nairobi, Kenya. The winners of each tournament qualified for the 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.[1]
