Inner Worlds is an album by the Mahavishnu Orchestra. It's the group's fifth studio album.

In 1975, violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and keyboardist Gayle Moran left the band. Also, all string and horn accompaniments the group used on its previous album, Visions of the Emerald Beyond, were dismissed. Stu Goldberg was brought in as a replacement for Moran, and then the album was recorded.

This would be the last album by the Mahavishnu Orchestra for nearly ten years, when leader and guitarist John McLaughlin re-formed the group in 1984.
