Two Sevens Clash is the debut album by roots reggae band Culture, released on the Shanachie label in 1977 (see 1977 in music). Recorded with producer Joe Gibbs at his own Joe Gibbs Recording Studio in Kingston in 1976, the album's title is a reference to the date of July 7, 1977.

The liner notes of the album read: "One day Joseph Hill had a vision, while riding a bus, of 1977 as a year of judgement -- when two sevens clash -- when past injustices would be avenged. Lyrics and melodies came into his head as he rode and thus was born the song "Two Sevens Clash" which became a massive hit in reggae circles both in Jamaica and abroad. The prophecies noted by the lyrics so profoundly captured the imagination of the people that on July 7, 1977 - the day when sevens fully clashed (seventh day, seventh month, seventy-seventh year) a hush descended on Kingston; many people did not go outdoors, shops closed, an air of foreboding and expectation filled the city."
