Charles Holden (12 May 1875 – 1 May 1960) was an English architect best known for designing many London Underground stations during the 1920s and 1930s. Other notable designs were Bristol Central Library, the Underground Electric Railways Company of London's headquarters at 55 Broadway and the University of London's Senate House. Many of his buildings have been granted listed building status, indicating that they are considered to be of architectural or historical interest and protecting them from unapproved alteration.{{#tag:ref|Listed buildings are granted one of three grades (II, II* and I in order of importance) representing their status as nationally or internationally important buildings. In England, the register of listed building is administered by Historic England. A listed building may not be demolished, extended or altered without special permission from the local planning authority. |group="note"}} He also designed over 60 war cemeteries and two memorials in Belgium and northern France for the Imperial War Graves Commission from 1920 to 1928.{{sfn|Karol|2007|pp=482–83}}

Holden's early architectural training was in Bolton and Manchester where he worked for architects Everard W. Leeson and Jonathan Simpson before moving to London.{{sfn|Karol|2007|pp=51–55}} After a short period with Arts and Crafts designer Charles Robert Ashbee, he went to work for Henry Percy Adams in 1899. He became Adams' partner in the firm in 1907 and remained with it for the rest of his career.{{sfn|Hutton|Crawford|2007}}

Holden's early buildings were influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, but for most of his career he championed an unadorned style based on simplified forms and massing that was free of what he considered to be unnecessary decorative detailing. He believed strongly that architectural designs should be dictated by the intended functions of buildings.Holden, quoted in {{harvnb|Glancey|2007}}.Holden, Charles (1957). "The Kind of Architecture we want in Britain". Architectural Review. Quoted in {{harvnb|Karol|2007|p=9}}. After the First World War he increasingly simplified his style and his designs became pared-down and modernist, influenced by continental European architecture.{{sfn|Powers|2007}}{{sfn|Sutcliffe|2006|p=166}} This list includes all buildings for which Holden was commissioned to produce designs.

Holden worked on the designs for 69 cemeteries for the dead of the First World War as part of his work for the Imperial War Graves Commission (IWGC, now the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC)) between 1918 and 1928.{{sfn|Karol|2007|pp=482–83}} Up until 1920, he worked as senior design architect and his designs are thought to include two of the initial cemetery designs built at Forceville and Louvencourt where Reginald Blomfield was named as the principal architect.{{sfn|Geurst|2010|p=50}}{{sfn|Karol|2007|p=217}}The principal architects worked with assistant architects, also called architects in France, who worked from offices in St Omer, and in some cases did most of the design work, with the final design being approved or amended by the principal architect they were working with. In 1920, he became one of the four principal architects for the cemeteries on the Western Front.{{sfn|Karol|2007|pp=482–83}}

casualties{{#tag:ref|The CWGC records the number of identified casualties contained in a cemetery, although most cemeteries have additional graves containing the bodies of soldiers who could not be identified and whose grave stones carry no name. In some cases the number of unidentified burials is considerable – for example, Poelcapelle British Cemetery contains 6,231 such burials.{{cwgc cemetery and name|56100| Poelcapelle British Cemetery|access-date=15 May 2011}}|group="note"}}

Holden designed two memorials for the missing dead of the First World War as part of his work for the Imperial War Graves Commission between 1920 and 1928. Both are memorials to the missing from the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. They are located in Belgium and are within cemeteries also constructed to his design.
