Unconditionally Guaranteed is the eighth LP by Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band, originally released in 1974. Upon release it was criticised for being too commercial, however it failed to give Beefheart any real chart success and peaked at #192 on the Billboard Top 200.

After his contract with Mercury Records ended at the end of 1974, Beefheart disowned the record, along with its successor Bluejeans & Moonbeams, urging his fans to "take copies back for a refund".
