An oxygen tank holder that is mobile and could be wheeled around by a patient as needed or when attached to a wheelchair. The oxygen tank holder includes a base mounted on a skeletal framework, with the framework including a pair of wheels that are connected by a central axle. The oxygen tank is held on the base by a pair of straps, with the oxygen tank holder being moved around with the help of a handle attached to the framework or propelled when attached to a wheelchair. A band and a stabilizer bar with a pair of mounting bolts at each end secure the holder to a wheelchair.
