A purse security device according to the present invention includes a front panel having a front side and a back side opposite the front side, the front panel having a generally planar configuration. The purse security device includes a back panel having a front side and a back side opposite the front side, the back panel having a generally planar configuration. The back side of the front panel is operably coupled to the front side of the back panel. A circuit board having a battery is positioned on the front side of the back panel. A light element is situated on the front side of the front panel and electrically connected to the battery and selectively energized thereby. The back side of the back panel is selectively coupled to an inner wall of a purse for illuminating an interior area of the purse.
