Oliver Hollands (born 16 January 2004) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He is the younger brother of Carlton teammate and former Gold Coast player Elijah Hollands.[1]

Hollands, son of former Richmond footballer Ben Hollands, attended Geelong Grammar and played his early football for the Wodonga Bulldogs. Prior to being drafted to Carlton, Hollands had an All-Australian season for Vic Country (Under-18s). At the draft combine he was equal first in the two-kilometre time trial and was selected by Carlton with the 11th pick of the 2022 national draft. His great-grandfather, Martin Cross, had also played for Carlton.[2]
