Leonard Holland (born c. 1888) was an English professional golfer. He finished in the top-10 in the Open Championship in 1920 and 1924.

He was brought up in Caister-on-Sea, Norfolk and was later professional at Northamptonshire County Golf Club from 1911 and then, from 1924, at Gerrards Cross Golf Club.

In 1914 he won the Sphere and Tatler Foursomes Tournament in partnership with James Batley, beating the Scottish pair of C McIntosh and George Smith 5&4 in the final.[1] His biggest individual win was in the 1925 Yorkshire Evening News Tournament. He beat James Ockenden 3&2 in the final.[2]
