In order to provide a microphone holder which can hold a microphone tightly and the holding operation can be performed easily, a microphone holder comprises a holder casing having an opening section in one end of which a microphone can be inserted and a connecting terminal supported by the holder casing so as to connect electrically the microphone inside the holder casing and an outer section, the holder casing comprises a side wall and a bottom wall communicating the side wall , an undercut sections are provided on the upper edge of the side wall , the inside edge section of the connecting terminal is usually in the position having a space between the inside surface of the holder casing and the inside edge section ; thus, when the microphone is inserted in the holder casing , the microphone is held by being put between the undercut sections and the inside edge section
