Georgia's 7th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is currently represented by Republican Rich McCormick.

The district includes portions of the north Atlanta metropolitan area, including the cities of Alpharetta, Cumming, Dahlonega, Dawsonville, Johns Creek, Milton, Roswell, and Sandy Springs. It covers parts of Cherokee, Fulton, and Hall counties and all of Dawson, Forsyth, and Lumpkin counties.

From 2013 to 2023, the district included most of Gwinnett County and portions of Forsyth County.

Although the seat had been held by Republicans from 1995 until 2021, the 7th district had previously elected Democrats consistently from the Reconstruction era (1868) until the 1994 Congressional Elections. The district has recently become friendlier to Democrats as a result of significant demographic changes, particularly the growth of Black, Hispanic and Asian populations. In the 2018 midterm elections, Republican Rob Woodall won reelection by only 433 votes, or 0.15%, against Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux, and his victory was only confirmed after a recount. In terms of both absolute numbers and vote percentage, it was the closest U.S. House race in the country in 2018. In 2020, Bourdeaux was elected to represent the district in Congress.
