The '''Holman ministry (1916{{spaced ndash}}1920)''', also known as the '''Second Holman ministry''' or '''Holman Nationalist ministry''' was the 36th ministry of the [[New South Wales Government]], and was led by the 19th [[Premier of New South Wales|Premier]], [[William Holman]].
Holman was elected to the [[New South Wales Legislative Assembly]] in 1898, serving until 1920, before being elected to the [[Australian House of Representatives]]. Holman had earlier served as Deputy Leader in the [[McGowen ministry|ministry of James McGowen]], before replacing McGowen as leader of the parliamentary [[Australian Labor Party (New South Wales Branch)|Labor Party]] and serving as Labor Premier between 1913 and 1916.<ref name=adb>{{ Australian Dictionary of Biography | first=Bede |last=Nairn |title=Holman, William Arthur (1871–1934) |id2=holman-william-arthur-6713 |access-date=11 October 2019}}</ref>
