The 2007–08 Old Dominion Monarchs basketball team represented Old Dominion University in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I men's basketball during the 2007–08 season. Playing in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and led by seventh-year head coach Blaine Taylor, the Monarchs finished the season with a 18–16 overall record (11–7 CAA).
