Millionaires is the eighth studio album by British alternative rock band James. It was published as 11- and as 12-track version.

In a review of the album in 1999, Q Magazine stated:

"While musically different, a similar burning sense of an idea whose time has come runs through Parklife, Urban Hymns, Everything Must Go, OK Computer and (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. These are the albums that, if there’s any justice, Millionaires will be cited alongside when the great British rock records of this decade are counted."

The album reached number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, spending 16 weeks on the chart.

Three singles were taken from the album. "I Know What I'm Here For", released in July 1999, peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart. "Just Like Fred Astaire", released in October, reached number 17, and "We're Going to Miss You", released in December, peaked at number 48.
