Hollins is an area of Oldham, Greater Manchester, England, 1.7 miles south of the town centre.

Formerly a hamlet set amongst open moorland and farmland along Hollins Road, the 19th century growth of Oldham saw Hollins form a contiguous urban area with Hollinwood, Limeside, Garden Suburb, Werneth, Coppice and Copster Hill.[1]
