Holle (German pronunciation: [ˈhɔlə]) is a village and a municipality in the district of Hildesheim, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is situated approximately 15 km southeast of Hildesheim, and 15 km west of Salzgitter. It was mentioned in Tom Clancy's bestseller Red Storm Rising.

One of the villages in this municipality is Derneburg . The castle there, Schloss Derneburg , is since 2007 the site of one out of two modern art museums of the Hall Art Foundation. A famous German artist, Georg Baselitz, had lived and worked in this castle from 1975 until 2006.

In the tiny village of Söder, 7 km south of Holle, a baroque castle housed a famous art collection, owned by the Von Brabeck family, until is was sold at a remarkable auction in 1859.
