Felix 7 is called "Felix" in the Chronicon Altinate, and "Felix cognomento Cornicula" in John the Deacon's Cronaca Veneziana. He was the second of the magistri militum who governed Venetia (Venice) for a few years in the mid eighth century; he succeeded Leo 250 and held office, like the others, for one year only: Chron. Alt., p. 115 ("Felix magister militum sedit ann. I"), John the Deacon, Cron. Ven., p. 95 ("deinde secundus illorum nominabatur Felix, cognomento Cornicula, qui similiter illos unius anni spatio rexerat"). He was succeeded by Deusdedit 3.
