The Restful Mind is an album by jazz guitarist Larry Coryell. It was recorded at Vanguard Records' New York City studio, and was released by Vanguard in 1975. It features Coryell on acoustic and electric guitars, along with three of the four members of the band Oregon, who were also recording for Vanguard at the time: Ralph Towner appears on guitar, Glen Moore on bass, and Collin Walcott on percussion. The album includes improvisations on two compositions by the French Baroque composer Robert de Visée, an adaptation of Maurice Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante défunte" (here translated as "Pavane for a Dead Princess"), and four Coryell originals.

Tracks from the album were reissued on the 2000 anthology String Alchemy: From Eclectic to Electric,^[1] as well as the Oregon compilation albums Jade Muse: The Best of Oregon (2003)^[2] and Best of the Vanguard Years (2006).^[3]
