Joshua Derek Adam Holden (born January 18, 1978 in Calgary, Alberta) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who currently serves as captain of EV Zug of the National League A (NLA). He was drafted in the first round, 12th overall, by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft.

After playing four seasons in the Western Hockey League with the Regina Pats, finishing in the league's top ten in scoring in both 1995–96 and 1996–97, Holden made his National Hockey League debut with the Canucks in the 1998–99 season, appearing in 30 games. After he played in 16 games with the Canucks over the next two seasons, he was claimed on waivers by the Carolina Hurricanes before the 2001–02 season. Holden played in eight games with Carolina before rejoining the Canucks' organization. He then was traded by Vancouver to the Toronto Maple Leafs before the 2002–03 season in exchange for Jeff Farkas.

During the 2004–05 NHL lockout, Holden went to Finland's SM-liiga to play for HPK. While the NHL resumed play in 2005–06, Holden stayed in Europe, joining HC Fribourg-Gottéron of Switzerland's Nationalliga A.
