Oliver Holzbecher (born 25 September 1970) is a German former footballer who played as a forward. Holzbecher was a West Germany youth international, and came through the youth team of Hertha BSC. He made his Hertha debut in the last game of the 1988–89 season, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute for Sven Kretschmer in a 1–0 defeat against Fortuna Köln. Over the next few years his appearances were restricted to Hertha's reserve team, where he was part of the team that reached the 1993 DFB-Pokal Final, losing 1–0 against Bayer Leverkusen. This gave him another chance at first-team action, and he made a further nine appearances in the 2. Bundesliga before leaving in 1995. He spent three years in the Regionalliga Nordost with Reinickendorfer Füchse, before playing out his career with an eight-year spell at Spandauer BC, who were renamed FC Spandau 06 in 2003. He retired in 2006.
