Holly Days is the second album by guitarist Denny Laine, released in 1977. It is a tribute to early guitarist Buddy Holly.

The most instrumentation is by his bandmate Paul McCartney, who also produced the album. Due to the rudimentary recording methods used to capture the "Buddy Holly Style", only tracks 2 and 3 were actually recorded in stereo.
