Deep Purple é uma banda de rock inglesa formada em Hertford, Hertfordshire, em 1968. Juntamente com Black Sabbath e Led Zeppelin é considerada uma das pioneiras do heavy metal e do hard rock moderno, embora alguns de seus membros tenham tentado não se categorizar como apenas um destes gêneros. A banda também incorporou elementos de música clássica, blues-rock, pop e rock progressivo. Foram listados pelo Livro Guiness dos Recordes "como a banda mais alta do mundo", e venderam mais de 100 milhões de álbuns ao redor do mundo.
A banda passou por diversas mudanças de formação, além de um hiato de oito anos (1976-84). As formações do período 1968-76 foram comumente chamadas de Mark I, II, III e IV. Sua segunda formação, a mais bem-sucedida comercialmente, contou com Ian Gillan (vocal), Ritchie Blackmore (guitarra), Jon Lord (teclado), Roger Glover (baixo) e Ian Paice (bateria).[5] Esta formação esteve em atividade de 1969 a 1973, e foi reunida de 1984 a 1989 e, brevemente, em 1993, antes que as rixas entre Blackmore e os outros membros da banda se tornassem intransponíveis. A formação atual inclui o guitarrista Steve Morse; com o afastamento de Lord, em 2002, conta apenas com Paice como membro original.
A marca da banda sempre foi a mistura de guitarra e teclado, com riffs simples e fortes e solos vigorosos. Sua canção mais conhecida é Smoke on the Water, gravada em 1972.
