Nathaniel Holmes (1783–1869) was an American stone carver from Plymouth, Massachusetts who became Cape Cod's first resident gravestone carver. During his 70-year career he created approximately 1500 gravestones on Cape Cod and in the Plymouth area. The majority of his works are slate, though he also created stones in marble.
