Holme is a hamlet in the West Riding of Yorkshire, in the hills on the road leading south-westwards to Holmbridge and to the nearest town, Holmfirth. The pub in the hamlet is the Fleece.

To the east and south-east of Holme is a series of small reservoirs from which emerges the River Holme, which runs down to Holmfirth and thence towards Huddersfield.
