In the United Kingdom, HOLMES (the Home Office Large Major Enquiry System), was an IT system used by the police to assist with the investigation of serious crimes including murder and fraud.

HOLMES was developed by McDonnell Douglas Information Systems on the Reality operating system.

The name is a backronym for the fictional private investigator, Sherlock Holmes.

HOLMES has now been succeeded by HOLMES 2.
