The Rapture of the Deep Tour is a two-year long world tour by British rock band Deep Purple that is taking place in support of their latest studio album Rapture of the Deep.

It commenced on 17 January, 2006, with a sold-out gig at the 2,000 capacity London Astoria theatre in the UK capital's west end. The tour has since moved on into Europe, Australasia and South America where the concerts have for the first time featured graphic effects panels and two large video screens showing live footage of the band either side of the stage.

The tour will return to the United Kingdom on 21 April 2007, beginning in Newcastle upon Tyne at the Metro Radio Arena, and ending in Birmingham's NEC. Support will come from Styx and Thin Lizzy on these British dates.

A one off Indian show in Bangalore took place in December 2006 and North American dates are expected in the summer of 2007.

During many concerts, singer Ian Gillan has dedicated the song "Wrong Man" to Wayne Williams, who has been incarcerated for child murders in the United States.
