The 2007–08 season was the twentieth season for FC Barcelona Femení in official competition, and their fourth in the Segunda División (as the second tier). It was their only non-consecutive season in the Segunda División, and the only time they competed in the second tier following relegation. Their fourth time winning their group of the second tier, they maintained their 100% league leaders record in the division, as well as setting the record for the most Segunda División league titles. As of 2024, it is the last time they were not in the top flight.

After winning the Segunda División, Barcelona entered Group 2 of the promotion play-offs, which they won to rejoin the Superliga.[1] At the start of the season, they had finished as runner-up in the Copa Catalunya.[2]
