Tomáš Holý (Czech pronunciation: [ˈtomaːʃ ˈɦoliː]; born 10 December 1991) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Czech National Football League club Artis Brno.

Holý started his professional career at Sparta Prague, having previously been part of the Hradec Králové youth system. He featured for Sparta Prague's reserve team Sparta Prague B during the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons. During his time with Sparta Prague, he spent time out on loan at Vlašim, Viktoria Žižkov and Fastav Zlín. In January 2016, Holý moved to English football to join Gillingham. He spent two and a half seasons at Gillingham, making over 100 appearances before joining Ipswich Town on a free transfer in June 2019. He was the club's first-choice goalkeeper for most of his first two seasons at the club but was dropped for the 2021–22 campaign and instead spent time on loan at Cambridge United and Port Vale. He joined Carlisle United on a free transfer in June 2022 and helped the club to win the EFL League Two play-offs in 2023. He returned to the Czech Republic to play for Baník Most-Souš the following year and signed with Artis Brno in June 2025.

He has won youth-level caps for the Czech Republic at U16, U17 and U18 levels.
