Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Australian place Holbrook Shire was a local government area in the eastern Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia.

Holbrook Shire was proclaimed on 7 March 1906 as Germantown Shire, one of 134 shires created after the passing of the Local Government (Shires) Act 1905.[1] The shire was renamed Holbrook Shire on 6 August 1915.[2] The renaming was a demonstration of patriotism during World War I and the name was taken in honour of Norman Douglas Holbrook, a British submarine captain awarded the Victoria Cross earlier in the war.[3]

The shire offices were in Holbrook.[4]

Holbrook Shire was amalgamated with Culcairn Shire and part of Hume Shire to form Greater Hume Shire on 26 May 2004.[5]
