The Matra MS7 was a Formula Two racing car built by Matra, which occasionally raced in Formula One as well between {{F1|1967}} and {{F1|1969}}.
While only modestly successful in Formula One, the car dominated Formula Two from late 1967 through 1969. Jacky Ickx, Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Johnny Servoz-Gavin won the European Championship in those years respectively, all driving the MS7 at least at some races.
