The lid holder comprises a base which is adapted to lie adjacent to the wall when the lid holder is attached to the wall. Two support members are connected to the base nd extend outward from the base. A retaining member is also connected to the base and extends outward from the base. The support members engage and support the top surface of the lid and the retaining member engages the interior lip of the lid to prevent movement of the lid away from the base.
