A dual-axis swivel bracket for a deck railing section is disclosed. The bracket is simultaneously adjustable along a first axis and a perpendicular second axis. When one end of the bracket is attached to a post and the other is attached to a rail, the position of the rail may be moved through a wide range of motion to allow for a wide range of installation designs.
