A straw cup according to the present invention includes: a main cup body (10) containing a drink; a lid (20) which is provided so as to cover the opening of the main cup body (10); and a straw insertion valve (100) which is joined with the lid (20) so as to allow a straw (30) to be inserted into the main cup body (10) through the lid (20). The straw insertion valve (100) includes a straw body (110) having a vertical through-hole (120), and is divided into an upper body (112) to be joined with the lid (20) and a lower body (114) to fix a straw (30). The side wall of the lower body (114) contracts inward such that the straw (30) inserted into the through-hole (120) comes into close contact with the side wall of the through-hole (120). According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the straw (30) from easily falling out of the cup and excessively tilting, and it is possible to prevent the drink from spilling out regardless of existence of the straw (30), and one straw insertion hole can be used without strict restriction on the thicknesses of straws.
