Holland Publishing PLC is an independent UK publishing house specializing in children's activity, sticker and colouring books. The company is based in Woodford Green, Essex, United Kingdom. The company was formed in 1980 by husband and wife, Bill and Sheila Holland.

The company was one of the first publishers to sell children's books into non-traditional markets such as Tesco and other supermarkets. Bill Holland died in November 2004, having worked full-time until the age of 74 and with over 60 years experience in the toy and publishing industries.

Among the series published by the company are Doodle Design, Learning is Fun, Colouring is Fun, Puzzle Zone and Stickers are Fun as well as children's jigsaws. Aside from its own list, the company works with many leading UK retailers and consumer products companies to create own label books and stationery ranges.
