|Mary Holda, later Elrod (September 30, 1915 – April 14, 2016) was a utility infielder who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). She batted and threw right-handed.
A native of Mansfield, Ohio, Holda was one of the original South Bend Blue Sox founding members of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in its 1943 inaugural season.
