Provided is a receptacle holder 10 suitable for use in a vehicle. The holder 10 comprises an interior chamber 15 into which a receptacle can be placed; a deformable element 2, located at least partly within the interior chamber 15; and a pressurising mechanism 5/6/7 that can pressurise a region 16 within the interior chamber 15. When this region 16 is pressurised, the deformable element 2 moves inwardly relative to the interior chamber 15 and abuts the receptacle, thus securing the receptacle within the chamber 15. The deformable element 2 may be formed of a moulded elastomer such as rubber or polyurethane; and take the form of a flange 2a with a wall and upper 2c / lower 2b annular lips. Also provided is a vehicle 100 comprising the receptacle holder 10.
