The invention provides a cup dispenser for sequentially dispensing individual, disposable, rimmed cups having diameters varying from each other by several centimeters, from a stacked column thereof, comprising a cup-retaining and dispensing body provided with a tubular opening having a lower edge and with retaining means consisting essentially of at least two opposed flexible tongue-like members descending from the inner wall thereof, each of the members being subdivided into two portions, a first portion of the first member, in conjunction with the opposed first portion of the second member underriding and supporting the rim of a lowermost cup of the stacked column placed therein, and a second portion of the first member, in conjunction with the opposed second portion of the second member, simultaneously overriding the rim of the lowermost cup, and underriding and supporting the rim of the next to lowermost cup in the stack, whereby the pair of first portions retain the lowermost cup until the removal thereof from the dispenser, while the pair of second portions of the opposed flexible tongue-like members support and retain the next to lowermost cup during the removal of the lowermost cup from the dispenser.
