The fishing pole holder for a dock railing includes a clamp assembly that is configured to be secured to a dock railing. The clamp assembly is adjustable, and can secure itself to dock railings of differing geometries. The clamp assembly includes a biasing member that provides a secure connection to the dock railing. The clamp assembly includes a rod holder that extends away from the dock railing. The rod holder is configured to receive a fishing pole there against. The fishing pole is ideally rested on a ground surface, and leans at an acute angle upwardly in order to rest against the rod holder. The rod holder is further defined with a “u”-shaped bracket that enables the fishing rod to rest there against.
