The Hawaii Holomua was an American daily and weekly newspaper published in both Hawaiian and English. It was founded in 1891 with four editions: two versions were published in solely Hawaiian daily and weekly; and another two were published in both Hawaiian and English, also daily and weekly. The bilingual versions were replaced by an English-only version in 1893, following the newspaper's purchase by the Holomua Publishing Company. The newspaper was a vocal supporter of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and actively opposed the Provisional Government of Hawaii following the kingdom's 1893 overthrow. It was the only newspaper in Hawaii to publish Queen Liliʻuokalani's protest against the overthrow and her appeal to U.S. President Grover Cleveland. The Hawaii Holomua and its various editions suddenly ceased publication in 1895.
