A safety release device for Roman blind pull cord is disposed between the control pull cord of the Roman blind and a lower suspension thereof. The safety release device includes a latch body for connecting with the pull cord, a latch ring seat connected with the lower suspension of the Roman blind, and a connection barrel. The latch body can be plugged into and latched with the connection barrel or extracted out of the connection barrel. The latch body has a latch force greater than the weight of the suspended Roman blind. When an abnormal pulling force greater than the latch force between the latch body and the connection barrel is applied to the pull cord in any direction, the latch body will be easily extracted out of the connection barrel to avoid tangle of the pull cord with a kid and ensure safety in use of the Roman blind.
