The 2007 Pacific League Climax Series (PLCS) was a set of consecutive playoff series for the Pacific League of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) in the 2007 season. In the First Stage, two teams competed in a best-of-three series while Second Stage was a best-of-five. The winner of the Second Stage advanced to the 2007 Japan Series, where they competed against the 2007 Central League Climax Series winner. The top three regular-season finishers played in the two series. The PLCS began on with the first game of Stage 1 on October 8 and ended with the final game of Stage 2 on October 18. This was the last playoff prior to the adoption of a one-win advantage for the regular season champion, which came into play for 2008 that has remained ever since.
