Thomas Holm (born 19 February 1981) is a retired Norwegian football player. He has previously played for SC Heerenveen, BV Veendam, Vålerenga, Molde, Tromsø and Fredrikstad. He is the older half-brother of Vålerenga player Daniel Fredheim Holm.
Holm won the Tippeligaen with Vålerenga in 2005 and with Molde in 2011. He has been capped four times for Norway.
Holm was born in Oslo, and grew up in Trosterud. He played for Vålerenga's youth team but transferred to Eredivisie club SC Heerenveen during the summer of 1998. Holm played as a right back and defensive midfielder under head coach Foppe de Haan, and in 2000 he signed a four-year contract with the club worth 10 million Norwegian kroner.
In the 2001–02 season, Holm was loaned out to BV Veendam., but moved back to Norway and Vålerenga in September 2002. He said that the move, which meant a drop in salary, was due to his belief in Vålerenga's ambitions and their supporters. The head coach of Vålerenga, Kjetil Rekdal had a high view of Holm, and said that he was a talented player with a big future, and the prefect replacement for himself in the midfield after his own retirement. Holm won the Norwegian Cup with Vålerenga in 2002.
