TarcherPerigee is a book publisher and imprint of Penguin Group focused primarily on mind, body and spiritualism titles, founded in 1973 by Jeremy P. Tarcher in Los Angeles.

Over the years the company expanded to include serious nonfiction books of all types. Putnam purchased the company in 1991, and the offices were moved to New York.
