Eel Pie Publishing was a publishing house founded by musician and author Pete Townshend in 1977, and named after Eel Pie Island.[1] It was part of the Eelpie Group of Companies including Eel Pie Recording Production Ltd (renamed Honorable Ltd) which was set up in 1970 by Pete Townshend.[2]

The principal activities of the group of companies were music studios, including Eel Pie Studios, recording and publishing. It used to have a website, but it is now closed.[3][dead link]

Eel Pie Publishing Ltd itself was dissolved in September 2014, but other parts of the Eel Pie group established by Townshend remain.[4]
