The present invention provides a fishing rod holder, wherein the fishing rod can be freely rotated not only in up-down direction but also in left-right direction. The fishing rod holder is less in the number of members, simple in structure and low in manufacturing cost. A rotation bearing frame body (7) is equipped with a rotation shaft (8) capable of freely rotating at the upper part of an installation body (2) for being arranged on the edge of a ship. The rotation shaft (8) is connected with a holding body (3) for holding the fishing rod, so that the fishing rod can be rotated in the up-down direction via the rotation shaft (8). An embedded hole (8h) on the rotation shaft (8) can be connected via the embedded shaft (9) of the holding body (8), so that the fishing rod can be rotated in the left-right direction.
