A bag holder comprises a generally rectangular housing in which plastic shopping bags having peripheral dimensions larger than those of the housing itself can be stored. The housing has a forward opening and a pair of doors which are hinge-mounted on opposing sides of the opening for movement between open and closed positions. A bag retainer is mounted on a rear wall of the housing and inserts into aligned handles associated with the bags to releasably retain upper bag portions. A bag folding element is hinge-mounted in the interior of the housing for movement between a first position in which the folding element extends through the housing opening and permits lower bag end portions to be rested between the folding element and rear housing wall and a second position in which the folding element folds the lower bag end portions upwardly and is concealed within the housing. The doors can then be closed to fold side edge portions of the bags into the interior of the housing and releasably locked in their closed position to retain the now compacted bags together with the bag folding element.
