"Pure" is a single by the British music group The Lightning Seeds from their debut album Cloudcuckooland. The song peaked at No. 16 in the UK. The track is the band's sole entry on the Billboard Hot 100's Top 40 in the United States, peaking at No. 31. It was the first of many chart hits for the band on the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, peaking at No. 8 on the chart.

The first Lightning Seeds single release, "Pure" is significant in that it was the first song Broudie had "completely written and sung, ever". It was when producing a track for The Pale Fountains that Broudie was offered a chance to release some of his own material.
