The Horse Holm (grid reference HU 384 074), referred to on maps as Horse Island, known to locals simply as Da Holm, and used as an alignment point by local fishermen for several fishing marks, lies about 2.3 km west of Sumburgh Head at the south tip of the Mainland, Shetland.

In the Norn Language this island was called Hundiholmi (dog island) but later was renamed Horse Holm.
