Thomas Tuke "Tom" Hollway (Ballarat, 2 October 1906 — Point Lonsdale, Victoria, 30 July 1971) was Premier of Victoria from 1947 to 1950, and again for a short period in 1952.
From 1932 until 1955, Hollway served in the Victorian Legislative Assembly: first as a member of the United Australia Party (UAP), then as a Liberal. He took over as UAP leader when ex-Premier Stanley Argyle died in 1940. In Albert Dunstan's second wartime government (1943-1945) Hollway was Deputy Premier.
On 21 November 1947 Hollway's Liberals defeated the incumbent Labor administration of John Cain (senior). Hollway (who at 41 was among the youngest Premiers Victoria has ever had) remained in power until 27 June 1950, when he lost office to the Country Party under John Gladstone Black McDonald. Hollway served another, and very brief, term as Premier from 28 October to 31 October 1952, when he again had to cede the premiership to McDonald.
