Holwaya is a genus of fungi in the family Bulgariaceae.

The genus name of Holwaya is in honour of Edward Willet Dorland Holway (1853-1923), who was an American botanist (Mycology) and Banker.

The genus was circumscribed by Saccardo in Syll. Fung. vol.8 on page 646 in 1889.

Holwaya mucida has an anamorph known as Crinula caliciiformis.
