Holi (dewanagari होली trl. holī, beng. হোলি) – hinduistyczne święto radości i wiosny, obchodzone przeważnie w dniu pełni księżyca w miesiącu phalguna (luty–marzec). To święto obchodzi się przede wszystkim w Indiach, Nepalu i innych regionach świata, głównie wśród Hindusów lub osób pochodzenia indyjskiego. Festiwal ten rozprzestrzenił się w ostatnich latach w częściach Europy i Ameryki Północnej jako święto miłości i kolorów wiosny.
