Restrictions is the third studio album by American rock band Cactus, released in 1971 by Atco Records.[3] The tracks "Token Chokin'", "Evil", "Alaska" and "Sweet 16" were released as singles.

The album features heavy blues-rock originals, plus a cover of the Howlin' Wolf blues standard "Evil". Stoner rock band Monster Magnet used Cactus' arrangement of the song for their own cover, which appeared on their 1993 album Superjudge.
