Julie Lynn Holmes (born March 23, 1951, in North Hollywood, California)[1] is an American former figure skater.

She skated generally in the shadows of fellow American Janet Lynn, although Holmes had considerably better luck on the world stage than at her own country's championships.

Gabriele Seyfert regularly placed above her in both compulsory figure and free skating portions while still competing up until 1970.

At the 1972 Winter Olympics, she was well positioned to win silver due to a strong lead (apart from Schuba who she trailed by a near insurmountable margin) after figures, but a rare disastrous long program where she placed only 8th and fell a couple times dropped her to 4th behind Trixi Schuba, Karen Magnussen, and Janet Lynn, off the podium.

She was criticized by some for copying too closely the exact style of Peggy Fleming, perhaps in part due to being coached by the same person- Carlo Fassi.
