Marcy-Holmes is a neighborhood in Minneapolis's University community. Most of the area is residential and sits upon a bluff overlooking the river and the city skyline. A small section of the neighborhood along the river is an industrial zone. As of 2020, Marcy-Holmes was the most populous Minneapolis neighborhood.
The neighborhood is bordered on the south by the Mississippi River, to the east by the University of Minnesota and 15th Avenue Southeast, to the north by the railroad tracks that separate it from Como Neighborhood, and to the west by Central Avenue. Somewhat confusingly to newcomers, the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood is considered part of Southeast Minneapolis, despite its seemingly central location in the city. Almost every street and avenue within the neighborhood is labeled "SE": South of East Hennepin Avenue and East of the Mississippi River.
Most of Marcy-Holmes sits within ward 3 of the Minneapolis City Council, while the portion east of I-35W is in ward 2. It straddles state legislative districts 59B and 60B. The neighborhood is named after the former Marcy Park and Holmes Park (themselves named for William L. Marcy and Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.), both within the neighborhood. Marcy Park was renamed Dinky Park on November 19, 2025.
Marcy-Holmes is known for its diverse community, its commercial districts of Saint Anthony Main and Dinkytown, and its immediate proximity to the East Bank of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus.
