Marty Holland, born Mary Holland, was an American author of pulp novels.

Marty began her career as a typist in Hollywood before seeing two of her novels adapted for the screen. Her first novel, Fallen Angel was adapted in 1945 as a film of the same name, directed by Otto Preminger and starring Alice Faye, Dana Andrews, Linda Darnell, and Charles Bickford. Her novel The File on Thelma Jordon was adapted in 1950 as the film of the same name, directed by Robert Siodmak and starring Barbara Stanwyck and Wendell Corey.

In 1946, Fallen Angel was banned in Ireland. After Holland died of cancer in 1971, a manuscript of Baby Godiva was found by her family and published posthumously in 2011.
