SC 07 Bad Neuenahr was a German football club from Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Rhineland-Palatinate.

Sportclub Bad Neuenahr was a founding member of Germany's women's Bundesliga and played in the top division from 1997 until 2013.
The men's side played second-division football in the first half of the 1950s as part of the 2. Liga-Südwest before slipping to the Amateurliga Rheinland in 1955. They generally earned upper table results there through the balance of the decade and on through the 1960s and 1970s. They took part in the opening round of the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) in 1975 when they were put out by FC St. Pauli. Their only other cup experience was in 1932 when they advanced to the quarter-final of the regional Westpokal.
