My Seven Sons (Azerbaijani: Yeddi oğul istərəm) is a 1970 Azerbaijani drama film. The film plot is written by Yusif Samedoglu based on his father poet Samed Vurgun's The Komsomol Poem which is about the events of the 1920s and the Soviet overtaking of Azerbaijan.

The film's title derives from Azerbaijani folklore clause yeddi oğul istərəm, bircə dənə qız gəlin (meaning "I'd like seven sons and just one daughter"), usually said during the weddings, when the groom comes to the bride's house to pick her up. The film was shot for the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Soviet power in Azerbaijan.

This lyrical psychological film is about commitment to the Bolshevik revolution and its victory. The story is about seven youth who sacrifice everything for the good of people.
