"Evil Woman (Don't Play Your Games with Me)" is a song written and recorded by Minneapolis-based band Crow that appeared on their 1969 album Crow Music. It reached #19 on The U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Pop Chart.

It was covered in 1970 by Black Sabbath and was released as their first single (also known as "Evil Woman" simply). The song also appeared on Sabbath's debut album, Black Sabbath, later that year.

Despite being Sabbath's first single, "Evil Woman" was excluded from Black Sabbath's debut album in the United States, being replaced by "Wicked World". The song was first officially released in the U.S. in 2002, on the compilation Symptom of the Universe: The Original Black Sabbath 1970-1978.
