Eddie Holman (born June 3, 1946)  is an American singer and recording artist. He is best known for his 1970 hit song "Hey There Lonely Girl". His specialty ranges from R&B and pop to gospel.

Holman was born in Norfolk, Virginia and raised in New York City. His mother, noticing that he loved to sing even as early as the age of two, introduced him to the piano and the guitar, where he quickly revealed a natural aptitude.

His abilities, however, were confined mostly to church and family gatherings. At age ten, Eddie Holman stepped onto the stage on Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater and showed his smooth tenor voice. His victory at the Apollo began to open many other doors, and soon he was performing at theaters on Broadway and even at Carnegie Hall. He was a regular performer on NBC's The Children's Hour.

Not wanting her son to miss any opportunity, his mother was able to get him enrolled at the Victoria School of Music in Harlem. At Victoria, he learned the technical craft of music and began to blossom.

As a teenager, Holman moved to Philadelphia with his family. After graduating from high school, he attended Cheyney State University where he graduated with a degree in music.
