A flashlight glove, comprising: a hand glove having at least a glove back portion and fingers; an LED flashlight having a front end having a light beam lens, a face and opposed back, a rear, and opposed sides; said LED flashlight having an actuation switch on said face actuating said flashlight to produce a light beam from said lens; said actuation switch having an extender button extending therefrom; a pocket of elastic web material located on said glove back portion, said pocket and glove back defining an enclosed pocket and having an opening facing forward along the glove back portion towards the fingers and over a knuckle of a wearer's hand; said LED flashlight being substantially contained within said pocket with said face facing toward said glove back portion, said actuation switch and said extender button extending toward and being confined by said glove back; and said pocket being so dimensioned as to allow said extender button and actuation switch to remain in a normally-open position upon said glove back and fingers being in a rest position with the wearer's palm open and is of such elasticity as to force said extender button and actuation switch into a closed position upon the wearer partially clenching a fist and thereby stretching said pocket against said back of said LED flashlight.
