7 Worlds Collide: Live at the St. James is an album released in 2001 by 7 Worlds Collide, a musical project of New Zealand singer-songwriter Neil Finn. It is a live recording culled from a series of five shows recorded at the St. James Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand from 2 to 6 April 2001. Notable members of Finn's band included Eddie Vedder, Johnny Marr, Ed O'Brien, Tim Finn, Sebastian Steinberg, Phil Selway, Lisa Germano, and Betchadupa (featuring Neil's son Liam Finn).[1]

The album was credited to "Neil Finn and Friends"; Finn would later use "7 Worlds Collide" as the name of the ongoing collaborative project.

The title of this album, as well as the 7 Worlds Collide project, is derived from the line "When your seven worlds collide / whenever I am by your side" from Crowded House's 1993 single "Distant Sun".
