Purble Place is a suite of three educational computer games developed by Oberon Media that was included with all versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Purble Place was developed in 2005 by Oberon Media, who were contracted by Microsoft to remake its inbuilt game suite for Windows Vista with an original children's title. Development took place under one year, complicated by requirements to meet Microsoft's security, political and accessibility standards for the operating system. Due to requirements not to use a third-party game engine, the development team hired college graduates to implement their "Flat Engine" into the game. The studio viewed development on the game as a minor project secondary to the creation of launch titles for the Xbox Live Arcade. Purble Place was publicly introduced in the 2005 community technical preview of Windows Vista build 5219 in 2005, and packaged with Windows Vista in 2007.

The game was produced by Cara Ely, and principally developed by Jane Jensen (lead developer), Brendan Walker, Dan Thompson, and Tam Armstrong.

The game's aesthetic was developed as a 2000s Frutiger Aero style.

The collection has a single home screen that offers three packs of games: Purble Pairs, Comfy Cakes, and Purble Shop.
