John Holden Greene (born 1777 Warwick, Rhode Island; died 1850 Providence, Rhode Island) was a noted early 19th century Federal Period architect practicing in Providence, Rhode Island. Greene is responsible for the design of over fifty buildings built in the city between 1806 and 1830, almost half of which are still standing. During this period, Greene was influential in introducing the L-shaped plan to domestic design.
