The Boeing 2707 was an American supersonic passenger aircraft project of the 1960s. Boeing won a competition for a government-funded contract to build an American supersonic airliner. The design was a large aircraft with seating for 250 to 300 passengers and a cruise speed of approximately Mach 3. It was intended to be much larger and faster than competing supersonic transports (SST) such as the Concorde.

The entire SST concept was the subject of considerable negative press coverage, focusing on the issue of sonic booms and effects on the ozone layer. A key design feature of the 2707 was the use of a swing wing configuration. Rising costs and the lack of a clear market led to the project being discontinued in 1971 before the prototypes were completed.
