Pigs on Purpose is the first studio album released by British post-punk band The Nightingales. It was released in 1982 through the Cherry Red record label and was distributed by Pinnacle.[2] The album reached #15 in the UK Indie Chart.

James Robert wrote that the album was "a summation of their live set", but "let down by a flat production that didn't do justice to the duelling guitar thrust".[3] Stewart Lee writing in the Sunday Times in 2004 declared the album's reappearance "the CD reissue of the year".[4]
