The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural equipment, and discloses a manual peanut picking device. The manual peanut picking device comprises a first shell, a peanut removing device is arranged below the first shell, the peanut removing device comprises a rotating handle, an arc plate, a stop lever, a transverse rod and a second shell, the stop lever is fixedly connected with the transverse rod, the rear wall face of the transverse rod is fixedly connected with the first shell, the arc plate is fixedly connected with the inner bottom face of the first shell, the rotating handle penetrates through the left side wall of the first shell and is fixedly connected with the first shell, a seedling clamping device is arranged on the first shell, and a reciprocating device and a seedling feeding device are further arranged on the first shell. The rotating handle rotates to drive a first rotating shaft to rotate, a scraping plate on the first rotating shaft can also rotate synchronously, peanut vines are clamped by first notches in the scraping plate, peanuts are hooked by the stop lever and fall into a second shell, the peanut vines are continuously pulled by the first rotating shaft to move backwards, the peanuts are separated from the peanut vines, the peanut picking efficiency is improved, time is saved, the working intensity is reduced, the fluffy peanut vines are compressed, and space is saved.
