Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. was een Amerikaanse jurist wiens ambtsperiode bij het Hooggerechtshof van de Verenigde Staten liep van 1902 tot 1932. Beroemd om zijn lange dienstverband en beknopte, kernachtige uitspraken, toonde hij een constante terughoudendheid ten opzichte van de beslissingen van gekozen wetgevers. Holmes blijft een van de meest geciteerde rechters van het Hooggerechtshof, met name vanwege zijn meerderheidsuitspraak over "duidelijk en tegenwoordig gevaar" in de zaak Schenck v. United States uit 1919, wat zijn status als een van de meest invloedrijke Amerikaanse rechters van het gewoonterecht versterkte.
