Bob Holt (born 18 May 1944) is a former English distance runner. His twin brother Dave Holt competed in the 10000 metres at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. Of the two, Bob had a faster personal best of 28 minutes 39.8, set in September 1972, whereas Dave's personal best was 28 minutes 41.82, which he set at Crystal Palace on 15 July 1972.
