Howard Elbert "Ducky" Holmes (July 8, 1883 in Dayton, Ohio – September 18, 1945) was a catcher in Major League Baseball. He played in 9 games for the 1906 St. Louis Cardinals.

After his playing career he was a manager in the minor leagues for the Sioux City Packers of the Western League (1908),[1] the Saginaw Ducks of the Southern Michigan League (1913-1915), the Frankfort Old Taylors of the Ohio State League (1916) and Dayton Ducks of the Middle Atlantic League (1932-1938, 1941-1942). After the Dayton Ducks folded at the end of the 1942 season, Holmes worked in a grocery store until his death.[2]
