This is a list of members (MSPs) returned to the third Scottish Parliament at the 2007 Scottish Parliament election. Of the 129 MSPs, 73 were elected from first past the post constituencies with a further 56 members being returned from eight regions, each electing seven MSPs as a form of mixed member proportional representation.
The 2007 Scottish Parliament election produced another hung parliament which saw the Scottish National Party replace Scottish Labour as the largest party group in the Parliament. On 16 May 2007, the Scottish Parliament elected Alex Salmond as First Minister of Scotland. The next day, Salmond officially took office after being sworn in at the Court of Session and went on to form the Parliament's first minority administration.
