Martha Holliday (born Harriette Olson) is an American former actress and dancer.

Holliday was one of 10 actresses put under contract by Warner Bros. to appear in Thank Your Lucky Stars (1943).^[1] In 1943, she developed a new dance for films. Known as Hollywood Ballet, it combined ballet and ballroom steps in "a series of swirly bends and extraordinarily high kicks."^[2] She was a dance instructor for Warner Bros. for over two years without ever being considered for a role in a film. A few months after she went to RKO, the studio signed her for a role in George White's Scandals (1945).^[3]
