Leslie Hubert Holden, MC, AFC (6 March 1895 – 18 September 1932) was an Australian fighter ace of World War I and later a commercial aviator. A South Australian, he joined the Light Horse in May 1915, serving in Egypt and France. In December 1916, he volunteered for the Australian Flying Corps and qualified as a pilot. As a member of No. 2 Squadron on the Western Front, he gained the sobriquets "Lucky Les" and "the homing pigeon" after a series of incidents that saw him limping back to base in bullet-riddled aircraft. He was awarded the Military Cross, and went on to achieve five aerial victories flying Airco DH.5s and Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5s.

To think that Holden, who had never had a mishap when flying over these dangerous mountains, should be killed when on holiday in Australia, flying to a fishing expedition. It seemed sad to me that I should be taking hospitality in his house, a house like an eagle's eyrie, with a lookout all round such as a flying man would wish for—and his boy continuing to chant his epitaph, "He was a good masta."

He was awarded the Military Cross, and went on to achieve five aerial victories flying Airco DH.5s and Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5s. Promoted to captain, Holden finished the war as an instructor with No. 6 (Training) Squadron in England, where his work earned him the Air Force Cross. After leaving the Australian Flying Corps in 1919, he became a manager at the family firm of Holden's Motor Body Builders and joined the part-time Citizen Air Force, before setting up as a commercial pilot and establishing his own air service. In 1929, he located Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm in the north-west Australian desert after the pair was reported missing on a flight to England in the Southern Cross. Holden began transport operations in New Guinea in 1931. He was killed the following year in a passenger plane crash in Australia.

Ele foi condecorado com a Cruz Militar e conseguiu mais tarde abater cinco aeronaves inimigas pilotando aeronaves Airco DH.5 e Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5. Promovido a capitão, Holden terminou a guerra como instrutor no Esquadrão N.º 6 em Inglaterra, onde o seu trabalho lhe valeu a Cruz da Força Aérea. Depois de deixar o Australian Flying Corps em 1919, ele tornou-se gerente da firma familiar Holden's Motor Body Builders e juntou-se em part-time à Citizen Air Force, antes de se estabelecer como piloto comercial e começar o seu próprio negócio. Em 1929, ele conseguiu localizar Charles Kingsford Smith e Charles Ulm no deserto australiano depois destes dois terem sido dados como desaparecidos durante um voo. Em 1931, Holden começou a realizar voos de transporte para a Nova Guiné. Ele veio a falecer no ano seguinte vítima da queda de uma aeronave de transporte de passageiros.
