Nicholas Roderick "Nick" Holtam (born 8 August 1954) is a bishop of the Church of England. Since 2011, he has been the Bishop of Salisbury.
Holtam grew up around Edmonton, London, where he attended the Latymer School before going to Collingwood College, Durham University, where he studied geography. After graduating, he studied for ordination at both King's College, London and Westcott House theological college, University of Cambridge.
Holtam was ordained deacon in 1979 and priest in 1980. He was an assistant curate at St Dunstan's, Stepney. In 1983, he moved to Lincoln Theological College, where he was a tutor in Christian ethics and mission. In 1988, he became the vicar of The Isle of Dogs.
From 1995 to 2011, Holtam was the vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields, which is located in the busy Trafalgar Square area of the Diocese of London, where he initiated and led a £36 million buildings renewal. St Martin’s has a ministry to homeless people as well as being the Royal Parish Church. Due to its location and tradition the church and its clergy have often had close connections to the Royal Family, the British Government, the Admiralty and the BBC. While in this position, he was a regular broadcaster and the author of many articles and two books, A Room with a View: Ministry with the World at Your Door (SPCK 2008) and The Art of Worship: Paintings, Prayers and Readings for Meditation (National Gallery London with Yale University Press, 2011)
