Restless Natives (1985) is a comedy film directed by Michael Hoffman and starring Vincent Friell, Joe Mullaney, and Ned Beatty.

Filmed in Scotland, the story follows the adventures of two young men who don masks (a clown and a wolf-man) and hold up tourist coaches in the highlands. These modern highwaymen become local folk heroes as well as a tourist attraction in themselves.

The soundtrack features music by Big Country. This music became available on the 1998 Big Country collection Restless Natives & Rarities; the Restless Natives soundtrack music is presented as a single 35-minute track featuring clips of actors from the film's audio.
