Pure Mania is the debut album by the punk band the Vibrators. It was released in 1977 on Epic Records and reached No. 49 in the UK Albums Chart. The song "Baby Baby" was released as a single and punk band Stiff Little Fingers got their name from the song of the same name from this album.

Trouser Press writer Ira Robbins described the album as a "treasure trove of memorable ditties".Allmusic's Mark Deming said the album "isn't purist's punk, but it's pure rock & roll, and there's nothing wrong with that." In his consumer guide for The Village Voice, critic Robert Christgau described the album as "good new-fashioned rock and roll at its wildest".

All songs by I.M. Carnochan except as indicated.
