Harold Herbert Holden RWS, ARCA (Lond.) (7 December 1885 – 19 April 1977) was an English artist from Birmingham, active in the mid-20th century.[5][6]

He was principal of the Leeds School of Art,[6] then in the late 1920s and 1930s, of Birmingham School of Art.[6] He was president of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA), 1954–1955, a member of the Royal Watercolour Society[5] and an Associate of the Royal College of Arts.

By September 1964, he was living in Westbury-on-Trym, and was made an Honorary member of the RBSA.[7]

His pupils included Percy Shakespeare[5][6] and Norman Neasom.[8]

Two of his works are in the RBSA permanent collection.[9]
