A foldable dish drainer comprising:a base member including a first base section with a first edge and a second base section with a first edge, the first and second base sections being movably joined at the first edges to form a substantially continuous dish draining surface in an open mode and to place the first and second base sections in a substantially parallel overlying position in a folded mode, and the substantially continuous dish draining surface extending across and defined by the first and second base sections;a first dish support member having first and second spaced apart edges with the first spaced apart edge of the first dish support member being movably attached to a surface of the first base section of the base member;a second dish support member having first and second spaced apart edges with the first spaced apart edge of the second dish support member being movably attached to a surface of the second base section of the base member; andthe second spaced apart edges of the first dish support member and the second dish support member being movably attached together such that when the first and second base sections are in the open mode the first and second dish support members are in an upstanding position for receiving and holding dishes in a draining position overlying the dish draining surface and when the first and second base sections are in the folded mode the first and second dish support members are in a folded position.
