Tyrone Holmes (born 15 April 1986) is a South African-born Scottish international rugby union footballer.
As part of his South African academy development with the RPC Rugby Performance Centre, Holmes trained with Toulon for four months. He then joined Northampton Saints academy for five months but on their relegation most of the academy players were cut and he returned to South Africa.
He played for the Stormers in Super Rugby and for Western Province in the Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup, as well as the Griquas and Cornish Pirates.
Holmes helped Western Province win the Vodacom Cup for the first time in 2012, he made nine appearances and scored two tries. He also played his first Super Rugby game later in the season. As a result of a loose forward injury crisis, Holmes debuted against the Lions on 30 June 2012. He started the game in the number 6 jersey and was replaced in the 52nd minute by Tiaan Liebenberg in a 27–17 Stormers win.
After the 2012 Currie Cup Premier Division season, he joined Italian National Championship of Excellence team Petrarca Rugby for one season.
Holmes then moved to Glasgow Warriors for the start of season 2013–14. He was part of the Glasgow side's 2014–2015 Pro12 league championship winning season. Following his release from Glasgow, Holmes signed for Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership from the 2016-17 season.
