C807 is a minor rural route in northern Tasmania, one of three routes that link Bridport Main Rd (B82) with coastal villages to the north. Beginning at B82 in the south, C807 heads north through the former mining town of Lefroy before terminating at the fishing and tourist village of Beechford. It is sealed along its full length.

There is some confusion over where exactly the northern terminus of C807 is located, the former Department of Transport's Road Direction Signing: Route Descriptions and Focal Destinations (1992) lists only 'Beechford' as the northern terminus and does not specify which intersection within the village. There are no C807 signs located north of Lefroy.
