The Zevende Klasse (English: Seventh Class) was the eleventh and from 2001 through 2010 lowest tier of football in the Netherlands and the ninth tier of Dutch amateur football. The league was divided into 3 divisions, only played on Sunday and only in the North district. The league was abolished after the 2009–10 season. All remaining teams were promoted to higher, geographically appropriate divisions.

The divisions consisted of 11, 12, 13 or 14 teams. The champions and the runners-up were promoted to the Zesde Klasse but they could have refused promotion. Because the Zevende Klasse was the lowest football tier, teams were not relegated.

The Dutch football league system consists of two fully professional leagues and eight levels of amateur football leagues, the highest of which is called Tweede Divisie, formerly Topklasse. All the leagues are connected by a promotion and relegation system, but in order to be promoted to the Eerste Divisie a club has to submit a solid business plan to be approved by the Royal Dutch Football Association, as well as meet certain stadium demands, and some other demands that the association stated for all the teams in the top two leagues. That way it was possible that the IJsselmeervogels won the 2010–11 Topklasse, but was not promoted, because they did not want to be bound to these demands. FC Oss was promoted instead. The association obliges every team from the two fully professional leagues to contract 16 players full-time, in order to keep these leagues fully professional. In 2016 Tweede Divisie was reintroduced as the top amateur level and placed between the Eerste Divisie and the Derde Divisie.
