Deep Purple je naziv britanskog sastava, ali također i ime pjesme jazz skladatelja Petera DeRosea, od koje je grupa uzela ime. Bili su jedni od prvih hard rock bendova a smatraju se utemeljiteljima heavy metala.
Deep Purple osnovan je 1968. godine (nakon raspada prijašnjeg sastava Blackmorea i Lorda, Chrisa Curtisa i Bobbyja Woodmana Roundabout). U početku je njihov stil naginjao prema popu, pa su 1968. g. imali singl Hush na US Top 5, a prva tri albuma su se također probila na američke top liste.
