A beverage can holder for attachment to a person's belt, clothing pocket or the like has an open fronted holder body with a vertically extending back portion and a horizontal base portion on which a can may be rested. A pair of resilient arms extend from the back portion to clasp the can and have spaced apart front ends forming a gap into which a can may be forced by an at least partially sidewise movement of the can. A lid attached to the holder body by a flexible lid retainer has a circular lip proportioned to snap engage on the top of a beverage can and acts to seal opened cans. In the preferred form the lid has a plurality of lips with the lips being of progressively smaller diameter and being progressively closer to the underside of the lid thereby enabling engagement of the lid on cans of differing diameter.
