The '''Holborn Division''' was one of four divisions of the [Hundred](/source/Hundred_(division)) of [Ossulstone](/source/Ossulstone), in the [county](/source/county) of [Middlesex](/source/Middlesex), [England](/source/England).
The other divisions were named [Finsbury](/source/Finsbury_division), [Kensington](/source/Kensington_division) and [Tower](/source/Tower_division).

The area was to the north of the [liberty](/source/Liberty_(division)) of  [Westminster](/source/City_and_Liberties_of_Westminster), and was included entirely within the [County of London](/source/County_of_London) on its creation in 1889. It gave its name to the [Metropolitan Borough of Holborn](/source/Metropolitan_Borough_of_Holborn) created in 1900. The area is now covered by the [London Borough of Camden](/source/London_Borough_of_Camden) and the northern section of the [City of Westminster](/source/City_of_Westminster).

In 1829 the Holborn Division contained the following "parishes, townships, precincts and places":

*The combined parishes of [St Giles in the Fields and St George Bloomsbury](/source/St_Giles_in_the_Fields_and_St_George_Bloomsbury)
*The combined parishes of [St Andrew Holborn Above the Bars with St George the Martyr](/source/St_Andrew_Holborn_Above_the_Bars_with_St_George_the_Martyr)
*The liberty of [Saffron Hill, Hatton Garden, Ely Rents and Ely Place](/source/Saffron_Hill%2C_Hatton_Garden%2C_Ely_Rents_and_Ely_Place)
*The [liberty of the Rolls](/source/liberty_of_the_Rolls)
*The parish of [St Pancras](/source/St_Pancras_(parish))
*The parish of St John, [Hampstead](/source/Hampstead_(parish))
*The parish of [St Marylebone](/source/St_Marylebone_(parish))
*The parish of [Paddington](/source/Paddington_(parish))
*The [precinct of the Savoy](/source/precinct_of_the_Savoy)
