Deep Purple in Rock is a hard rock-album by Deep Purple released in 1970.

This was the first studio effort from the "Mark II"-lineup of Deep Purple. Their earlier work was much more pop-oriented and on this record that is all gone. "Speed King" and "Flight of the Rat" are prime examples of hard rock songs, and the bands new style. "Child in Time" is perhaps the most famous song from this record. This song starts off as a ballad but then becomes a rocker with many improvisations. The lyrics are more sophisticated on this song than the other ones on the album. "Child in Time" was the only song from this album that was included on Made in Japan two years later.
