A candlestick or candelabrum is a decorative holder for one or more candles, often shaped as a column or pedestal. Those who use them consider them a part of their home's interior design. A special kind of Jewish candelabrum is the menorah.

In popular culture, candlesticks are featured in the nursery rhyme Jack Be Nimble; as the character 'Lumiere' in Disney's Beauty and the Beast; and in the game Clue. Many of Liberace's piano performances included a candelabrum on top of the grand piano. In the movie Bull Durham the assistant coach Larry (played by Robert Wuhl) suggests candlesticks as a wedding present during a crisis meeting held at the pitcher's mound in the middle of a game.
