Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 7

Season 7 of the American competitive reality television series Hell's Kitchen aired on the Fox Network at 08:00pm (ET/PT) from June 1, 2010, to August 10, 2010. Gordon Ramsay returned as host, as well as Maître d' Jean-Philippe Susilovic and Blue Team Sous chef Scott Leibfried. Andi Van Willigan, a chef from Santa Monica, California became the sous chef for the Red Team.

Banquet chef Holli Ugalde won the season, and was promised to be the head chef position at Ramsay's newly renovated restaurant at the Savoy Hotel in London. Filming had concluded in February 2009, 16 months prior to seventh season premiere, when the hotel reopened in 2010; however, Ugalde was not given the job. Ramsay stated that the American Ugalde could not work in London due to visa problems, but Ugalde called that explanation an excuse, saying, "I don't know if they even applied for my visa." Ugalde was later awarded an undisclosed amount of money in compensation and retained her title as the winner of season 7.

Runner-up Jason Santos returned in season 19 of Hell's Kitchen as one of Ramsay's sous-chefs when the season debuted in January 2021, a role he has kept since that season.

Autumn Lewis broke the record for most nominations in a season of Hell's Kitchen. The record was previously held by Virginia Dalbeck, who was nominated six times before finishing as the runner-up in Season 2. Lewis had been nominated a total of seven times throughout the season (one of which was voided by Chef Ramsay) before her elimination after the penultimate service.
