Henry Holloway (16 November 1812 – 1 July 1850) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.

The son of Benjamin Holloway, he was born in November 1912 at Charlbury, Oxfordshire. He was educated at Winchester College, before going up to New College, Oxford. While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1836. Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for a single run in the Oxford first innings by John Strange, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 5 runs by the same bowler.
