Bob Holman is an American poet and poetry activist, most closely identified with the Oral tradition, the spoken word, and slam poetry.

He was described by Henry Louis Gates Jr. in The New Yorker as "the postmodern promoter who has done more to bring poetry to cafes and bars than anyone since Ferlinghetti."
