Holger Fach (born 6 September 1962) is a former German footballer. Mainly a defensive midfielder, he could also pitch in at centre back.
Between 1981 and 1998, Fach played 416 Bundesliga games for Fortuna Düsseldorf, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayer Uerdingen, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and TSV 1860 München. He scored 67 goals during this period, and won the DFB-Pokal with Borussia in 1995. In only half-a-season with Uerdingen in 1987–88, Fach scored a career-best nine league goals, greatly contributing to the side maintaining its top flight status. He retired with Fortuna Düsseldorf in the second division in 1997–98.
During a one-year span, Fach also gained five caps for the national team, his debut coming on 31 August 1988, in a 1990 World Cup qualifier against Finland, in Helsinki (he played the entire match in a 4–0 win). He also represented West Germany at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, where he played a role in the side winning a Bronze medal scoring 2 goals in the process.
After retiring as a player, Fach was appointed to coach the amateur team at Borussia Mönchengladbach (he worked with the club as a scout the previous year) and after a short intermezzo at Rot-Weiss Essen, on 21 September 2003 he became head coach for the former, leaving his post on October of the following year.
