Kenneth Charles "Ken" Hollyman (born 18 November 1922 in Cardiff) is a former Welsh professional footballer.
Hollyman began his career playing for Cardiff Nomads before joining Cardiff City in 1942. He played in more than eighty wartime matches for the club before eventually making his league debut against Norwich City on the opening day of the 1946-47 season, the first season of league football following the end of World War II. He missed very few games in the next few years, including being ever-present during the 1950-51 season, before being allowed to leave in 1953 to join Newport County.
He became an important member of the squad at Somerton Park and spent seven years at the club before leaving to become player-coach at Ton Pentre.
