The Caswell County, North Carolina, United States, unincorporated community of Purley, along with the communities of Blanche and Providence, makes up Dan River Township.

Tradition relates that the name "Purley" came from the Samuel Satterwhite Harrison House that sat on a hill and was painted a "pearly white" when such a paint scheme was a novelty.
