A cup holder of the invention is attached to a panel or console of a vehicle. The cup holder is basically formed of a case with an inclined opening and a recessed portion extending downwardly from the opening, a lid formed of first and second lid portions, a link connected to the first and second lid portions, and a spring device connected between one of the first and second lid portions and the case to rotate the one of the first and second lid portions to at least one of the open and close directions. The first and second lid portions are pivotally connected to opposite sides of the case for covering the opening. The first and second lid portions have open positions for revealing the opening, and closed positions for covering the opening. Also, the link is connected to the first and second lid portions so that when one of the first and second lid portions is moved, the other of the first and second lid portions is moved in association therewith. The cup holder can be easily opened with a simple link mechanism. Also, the lid portions can be stably held in the open position to properly support a cup.
