John Holland (June 11, 1899 – September 2, 1971) was an American actor who started his career as the male lead in two 1927 silents, Rich But Honest and The Secret Studio, but the advent of sound brought him a mix of occasional male leads, second leads and parts further down the cast list.

He began acting in Hollywood films in 1926, billed as Clifford Holland in his earliest appearances.

He later ascribed this to a casting director confusing him with his cousin, civil engineer Clifford Milburn Holland.

[1] He was best known for roles in the Pre-Code dramas Hell Harbor[2] and She Goes to War.

[1][3] Holland was 33 years old at the time of his final film performance in a 10th-billed supporting role in 1932's The Silver Lining.
