Vasiliy Adolfovich Lindholm (Russian: Bасилий Aдольфович Линдгольм; 1874 – September 17, 1935), also published as Wilhelm Adolf Lindholm, was a Russian malacologist and herpetologist.

Lindholm was a curator at the Zoological Museum of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Leningrad. He published works on the molluscs of Lake Baikal, the Crimea, the Caucasus and other parts of the U.S.S.R., and on Palaearctic molluscs generally.[1] He also studied amphibians and reptiles, and described three new species of reptiles.[2] A frog Afrixalus lindholmi is named for him, sometimes known as Lindholm's banana frog.[3]
