The Holden FE is an automobile which was produced by Holden in Australia from 1956 to 1958. It was also the first Holden to be assembled in New Zealand, where General Motors New Zealand built their first example on 31 January 1957.

The FE models were built on a longer wheelbase than the FJ series Holdens which they replaced and they featured totally different styling. A single piece windscreen was now fitted and other improvements included a 12 volt electrical system, improved steering, a front stabiliser bar and wider wheel rims.

When introduced in July 1956, the FE range consisted of the Holden Standard Sedan, Holden Business Sedan and Holden Special Sedan, names designating different levels of equipment and interior trim. The existing Fj series Holden Utility and Holden Panel Van models continued alongside the new sedans, with the FE Utility replacing its FJ counterpart in February
