Bernard Lee "Pretty" Purdie (11. juni 1939 i Maryland USA) er en amerikansk trommeslager.
Purdie er nok mest kendt som studiemusiker, bl.a. hos Aretha Franklin og James Brown. Han er en af de mest kopierede groove trommeslagere i Soul og Funk. Han var en stor inspiration for trommeslagere som Jeff Porcaro og Vinnie Colaiuta. Det hævdes endog at han har været studiemusiker på nogle af The Beatles plader, men er ikke bevist.
