Personopsis purpurata is a species of medium-sized sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Personidae.

It has a broad, biconic shape with a moderately tall spire, a wide last whorl, a somewhat contracted base, and a short anterior canal.

The shell is mostly translucent white, with prominent brownish-purple coloration at the anterior siphonal canal and a less noticeable area in the mid-columellar excavation.

The outer layer (periostracum) is thin, pale yellow or olive, and covered with long, thick bristles over the ridges and shorter, thinner bristles in the spaces between.

This marine species occurs off New Caledonia.
