Sucking in the Seventies is the fourth official compilation album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1981. As the successor to 1975's Made in the Shade, it covers material from 1974's It's Only Rock'n Roll to 1978's Some Girls.

Many of the album tracks were remixed or re-edited for this release, and some rarer material was also included. "Everything Is Turning To Gold" was previously released as "Shattered"'s B-Side in late 1978 in the U.S. only; "If I Was A Dancer (Dance Pt. 2)" is a continuation of the opening track on Emotional Rescue; and "When The Whip Comes Down" is presented in an otherwise unreleased live version.

Released in the spring of 1981, as Tattoo You was nearing its completion, Sucking in the Seventies reached #15 in the U.S., going gold, but failed to chart in the UK.

In 2005, Sucking in the Seventies was remastered and reissued by Virgin Records.
