A bracket for adjustably supporting a paint can having an arcuate bail pivotally connected to bail sockets protruding from opposite sides of the can, on a ladder including a pair of spaced apart side rails and a plurality of rungs connected to and extended between said side rails in vertically spaced apart relation, said bracket comprising,

• a pair of outwardly extending paint can support arms having free ends adapted to receive a paint can in close fit relation there between,
• a cross member connected to and extending between said paint can support arms for securing said arms in generally stationary relation to one another,
• each support arm having a top opening slot adjacent the free end thereof for pivotally receiving a bail socket of a paint can whereby a paint can is supportable on said arms for pivotal movement about an axis through said bail sockets,
• open bottom hook means operatively associated with opposite ends of said support arms for removable support of said arms on a rung of a ladder, and
• at least one stabilizer leg connected to and extended downwardly from said support arms for abutment against the rung of a ladder which is next adjacent and lower than that on which said hook means are supported to thereby stabilize said support arms against downward rotation about said rung on which said hook means are supported.
