A step ladder bracket which easily, safely and stably supports a step ladder with respect to a wall. The step ladder bracket includes a back plane for flatly abutting a vertical wall surface, a stiffening flange formed at an upper end of the back plane, and at least one support flange formed adjacent a lower end of the back plane. The step ladder bracket is formed of a single piece of planar material. The stiffening flange projects from a forward facing side of the back plane, and is preferably oriented perpendicular thereto and extends along the entire length of the back plane to provide stiffening and an abutment to an already level object. The one or more support flanges also project from the forward side of the back plane, and are oriented at an acute angle with respect thereto. The one or more support flanges have a length less than the length of the back plane and are defined by left and right flange edges which, preferably, are mutually convergent. In operation, a user hocks the perimeter lip of a step ladder onto the support flange.
