William Harold "Harry" Holmes (18 August 1908 – 1993) was an English footballer who played in the Football League as an outside right for Coventry City, Notts County and Birmingham.
Holmes was born in Ambergate, Belper, Derbyshire. Unwilling to put football ahead of his career as a draughtsman, he retained his amateur status, and alternated his Football League games with playing for his local club Heanor Town. He was the last amateur to play first-team football for Birmingham, which he did in November 1934.
