Steve Holman (born March 5, 1954, in Lawrence, Massachusetts) is an American sports broadcaster, most noted for his work as the play-by-play radio broadcaster for the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association.

Holman began his NBA career in the early 1970s as a broadcast assistant to legendary Boston Celtics’ play-by-play voice Johnny Most. He first filled in for Most in 1976 when Most went hoarse during a game. His first radio job was at WCCM in Lawrence, where he was hired by station owner Curt Gowdy. He has since broadcast 2,648 consecutive games as of 2020.[1]

Holman also covered the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, calling radio play-by-play action for the United States men's and women's Gold Medal basketball teams, as well as boxing the only year the United States won gold.
