Purple Mountains was an American indie rock project formed by musician and poet David Berman. The project debuted in May 2019, over a decade after the dissolution of Berman's previous group Silver Jews. An eponymous album was released in July 2019. The album was recorded primarily in Chicago and produced by Jarvis Taveniere and Jeremy Earl of the band Woods.

The project's name is a mondegreen of the lyric "Purple mountain majesties" from "America the Beautiful".

The project was presumably dissolved upon Berman's death on August 7, 2019.
