Borders & Boundaries is the fourth studio album by ska punk band Less Than Jake. It was released October 24, 2000 on Fat Wreck Chords. The album was recorded at Grand Master Studios in Hollywood, CA, with producer Steve Kravac, and is the final studio album to feature saxophonist Derron Nuhfer and trombonist Pete Anna.

The cover art features a map of the area around their home city of Gainesville, Florida, while the booklet "cover" art features a photograph of trombonist Pete Anna saluting the Statue of Liberty. Included on some copies is a spinning wheel which tells you the distance between Gainesville and eight places around the world; Sydney, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Tokyo, London, Paramus, NJ, and Ljubljana, Slovenia.

After recording had concluded, the album was originally slated to be released on Capitol Records, the label the band released their prior album - Hello Rockview - on. The band's drummer, Vinnie Fiorello, wrote about the matter on the linear-notes for Fat Wreck's 2009 greatest hits album, Wrecktrospective:

The album's lone video single, "Gainesville Rock City," received airtime on MTV2, and has gone on to become one of the band's signature songs. "Look What Happened" received minor airplay on college radio stations.

"Look What Happened" also appears on the band's next album, Anthem, in a re-recorded state.

The album reached #103 in the Billboard charts.
