Parliamentary elections were held in Kiribati on 22 August 2007 and 30 August 2007, within 23 constituencies (electoral districts) used to elect 44 MPs (43,000 citizens vote). Two other MPs were ex officio members (not elected).

There were 146 candidates in the first round, including all 44 sitting MPs, among them President Anote Tong. Most of them represent Pillars of Truth or Protect the Maneaba.

The main issues were education and employment.
