Too Pure is a London, United Kingdom based independent record label that was formed in 1990 by Richard Roberts and Paul Cox.

Too Pure started off as a small experimental label and had built their reputation by releasing primarily alternative/independent music which they felt was being ignored by the major labels. They discovered PJ Harvey and Stereolab amongst many others.

Too Pure are affiliated closely to the Beggars Group, and is now run by Jason White, formerly of Foundry Records.

On July 7th, 2008, it was announced [http://www.toopure.com on their website] that Too Pure "is no more" and that "the artists currently on those labels will be released through 4AD". Yet they will continue operating their "Too Pure Singles Club".
