General Holmes Drive is a major road that runs through Brighton-Le-Sands and Kyeemagh in New South Wales, Australia. It is named for a distinguished Australian military officer who died in action during World War I.

General Holmes Drive starts from The Grand Parade in Brighton-Le-Sands, continues into the suburb of Kyeemagh, running along Cook Park, over the Cooks River (Endeavour Bridge), past Sydney Airport. The main traffic route then becomes Southern Cross Drive and General Holmes Drive continues towards the airport terminals to Joyce Drive. Most of General Holmes Drive is part of the 110 kilometre Sydney Orbital Network.

Traffic runs in three lanes in both directions through Kyeemagh, becoming four lanes after the M5 East Freeway junction. The M5 East can only be accessed southbound, and traffic joins General Holmes Drive northbound.
