J. R. W. (Ralph) Hollins (born 1931) is a naturalist, born at Martin in the English county of Hampshire.

Hollins became active in Hampshire Wildlife Trust and Hampshire Ornithological Society during the 1980s, serving on committees of both organisations.

He is best known as the co-discoverer (with K. Turner) of Red Helleborine at Hawkley Warren, near Petersfield, in 1986, one of only three British sites where this species remained extant at the end of the 20th century.[1]

He is also responsible for setting up and running the website Nature Notes for the Havant area,[2] originally launched in 1997 and still current in 2010.[3]
