Vicky Holland (born 12 January 1986) is a British triathlete who is part of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic team. Holland was the 2018 World Triathlon champion, the fourth British woman to win the title. She was also the first female triathlete to win an Olympic medal for Great Britain, a bronze in 2016, holding off housemate, compatriot and fellow world champion Non Stanford.

A long-time fixture of the English and British mixed relay teams, she is also a 2-time World Mixed Team Champion, and a Commonwealth Games mixed relay champion.

In 2021, aged 35 she competed once more in the women's event at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, but finished off the podium, and was not selected for the mixed team relay.[1] Holland did not qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

In 2024, she won her first European Triathlon Championship at the age of 38, the eighth British woman to win that title. She has five wins in the World Triathlon Championship Series, four of them coming in her Championship-winning year of 2018.

Holland also competes in Super League Triathlon.[2] She was born in Gloucester.[3] As of 2023, Holland is transitioning part-time to broadcasting, forming part of the BBC Sport broadcasting team for the World Triathlon Championship Series.
