Borders & Boundaries is an album by ska punk band Less Than Jake, featuring a map of the area around Gainesville, Florida, their home city, on the cover. The album produced the anthem "Gainesville Rock City," the CD's lone single which happened to receive airtime on MTV2.

Borders & Boundaries is the final album to feature saxophonist Derron Nuhfer and trombonist Pete Anna. This album was originally slated to be released on Capitol Records, though the band left abruptly and went to Fat Wreck Chords. It is the only album by the band on this label.

The album's final track, "Faction", was originally written for Wes Craven's horror flick Scream 2, but Craven suggested that band instead cover David Partridge's "I Think I Love You".
