The BYD Seal 07 (Chinese: 比亚迪海豹07; pinyin: Bǐyǎdí Hǎibào 07), previously the BYD Seal DM-i until 2024, is a full-size sedan manufactured by BYD Auto since 2023. It was only available as a plug-in hybrid known as the Seal 07 DM-i until the 2026 model year, when a battery-electric version known as the Seal 07 EV was introduced.

The vehicle was introduced in a prototype form at 2023 Auto Shanghai as the BYD Destroyer 07, and was renamed to the Seal DM-i when it went on sale to integrate it with the Seal series of sedans. Sold through Ocean Network dealerships, the Seal DM-i is positioned in the BYD's range as an alternative to the similar BYD Han, which belongs to Dynasty Network dealerships. It went on sale in September 2023 in China..
