A workbench anchor utilizing counter acting wedges configured to expand laterally as they are drawn together longitudinally in order to lock the anchor in a workbench dog hole or other suitably sized hole by tightening a screw that passes through one wedge and into a threaded hole in a second wedge. Another threaded hole in the anchor can receive a screw or bolt for securing work pieces, jigs, fixtures or other structures to the anchor and, thereby, to the bench in which the anchor or anchors are mounted. An optional O-ring or other friction-increasing structure facilitates securing the anchor in and removing the anchor from the workbench by preventing the anchor from falling through the dog hole or other hole in which it is being positioned or from which it is being removed.
