Thank You St. Jude is an album by American singer-songwriter Peter Case, released in 2001.

The album consists of rearranged acoustic versions of songs previously recorded by Case or favorites from his live concerts.

Critical reception

Music critic Denise Sullivan of Allmusic praised the album, writing "This disc is an essential part of the Case catalog – a document of the state of the acoustic rock nation he had a hand in reviving in the mid-'80s and a testament to the evolution and staying power of his compositions. At the same time, new fans, particularly of acoustic folk, will find this a good introduction to the rich catalog of one of the most hardworking and consistently innovative songwriters in the hard-rockin' folk section."
