The 7th Infantry Division (7. Infanterie-Division) was a formation of the German Wehrmacht during World War II.

The division was formed 1 October 1934 in Munich from the Artillerieführer VII staff and renamed 7. Infanterie-Division with the disclosure of German rearmament on 15 October 1935. In preparation of the Invasion of Poland, the division was deployed to the Slovak Republik on 1 August 1939.

During its fight on the Eastern Front, the 7th Infantry Division at times oversaw the 638th Infantry Regiment, better known as the Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism.^[1]: 10

The division surrendered to Soviet forces near Stutthof after the unconditional surrender of 8 May 1945.
