[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Literature/AriaTheScarletAmmo'': The very title of the series, "Scarlet Ammo", is a clear reference to the fist Literature/SherlockHolmes novel, ''A Study in Scarlet''.
* ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'': In chapter 83, Ritsu is cosplaying ''Literature/SherlockHolmes''. Does this again in chapter 86.
* ''Manga/CaseClosed'': Conan takes his alias from two popular mystery writers whose books he can see in the family library when asked for a name: [[Creator/ArthurConanDoyle Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] and Ranpo Edogawa.

The same set appears in one of the movies, ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasSecretGadgetMuseum'' where Nobita-as-Sherlock-Holmes competes against a futuristic GentlemanThief called Kaitou DX.
* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'': At the end of episode 30, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent a few shots of Gintoki and Kagura]] have them change outfits to something that resemble other famous detective duos. [[Literature/SherlockHolmes Like Sherlock Holmes and Watson]].

In the Blu-Ray special, which features Nozomu as a detective again, he laments that he's not cut out to be a detective because [[Manga/TheKindaichiCaseFiles he doesn't have a detective for a grandfather]] or is a [[Manga/CaseClosed kid with an adult's brain]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Asian Animation]]
* In the English dub of episode 4 of ''Animation/BanzisSecretDiary'', Banzi gets the idea that Eungsim is playing detective because she read some ''Sherlock Holmes'' comics. This replaces a reference from the Korean original that refers to ''[[Manga/CaseClosed Detective Conan]]'' instead.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]

* ''ComicBook/TimDrakeRobin'': Tim is briefly dismayed to realize he's quoting Sherlock Holmes in his inner monologue.
* In issue 6 of ComicBook/TheJoker's self-titled series, the Joker hits an actor playing the famous detective Sherlock Holmes on the head with a pipe, causing him to believe he is Holmes and that the Joker is Holmes' archenemy Professor Moriarty.

* ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'': The second story of issue 11 parodies Literature/SherlockHolmes - specifically, "The Final Problem".
* ''ComicBook/XMen'': Destiny's real name is Irene Adler, a nod to the [[ClassyCatBurglar female thief]] of the same name from the ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' stories. Eventually, it would be revealed that Destiny is in fact ''the'' Irene Adler and her lover [[Characters/MarvelComicsMystique Mystique]] [[JuliusBeethovenDaVinci was Holmes himself]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* ''Fanfic/JauneArcLordOfHunger'': In "Aftermath", Mercury quotes Franchise/SherlockHolmes from the 1890 short story ''Literature/TheSignOfTheFour''.

** Cinder lampshades Mercury's use of the quote, sarcastically remarking "''Thank you'', detective" though her gritted teeth.

[[/folder]]

* ''Literature/CiaphasCain'': Cain alludes to an incident where he almost drowned at a place called "Rikenbach" in ''The Emperor's Finest'', a reference to Reichenbach Falls, where Literature/SherlockHolmes had his final encounter with Professor Moriarty and nearly died, being presumed dead for some time.
* Literature/{{Dragaera}}: ''Jhereg'' contains a ''Sherlock Holmes'' ShoutOut:
--> "I'm referring to the strange action of the bodyguards at the assassination attempt."\\
"But the bodyguards did nothing at the assassination attempt."\\
"That was the strange action."
* The ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Literature/GuardsGuards,'' when Vimes is "detectoring."
-->''Once you've ruled out the impossible then whatever is left, however improbable, must be the truth. The problem lay in working out what was impossible, of course. That was the trick, all right.\\
There was also the curious incident of the orangutan in the night-time...''
* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'':
** ''Literature/GhostStory'' provides us with the intentionally mangled quotation ''"The game's a-freaking-foot!"''
** In ''Literature/SkinGame'' Harry calls Nicodemus a psychopath, and Nicodemus responds with "Sociopath, actually". Strongly reminiscent of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}''. In another ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' reference, Nicodemus flicks Uriel in the nose to remind the latter that he's technically powerless in the situation, as C.A.M. does to John.
* Creator/AnthonyHorowitz's Literature/DanielHawthorneNovels, being metafictional, discusses Horowitz's own writing of Sherlock Holmes sequels and compares them to "real life".
* ''Literature/DiogenesClub'': The Diogenes Club was created by Arthur Conan Doyle for a Sherlock Holmes story, in which it was an eccentric gentleman's club catering to gentlemen who wanted access to the facilities of a club but didn't get on well with other people; Holmes's brother Mycroft was a member. Several of the stories contained within are actually Sherlock stories by Creator/KimNewman but many of them are removed from Doyle's characters.

* ''Literature/FamilySkeletonMysteries'': In book 3, Sid and Georgia dress up as [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby-Doo and Velma]] while attending the Halloween Howl at [=McQuaid=] University.

* ''Literature/JustDavid'': Sherlock Holmes gets mentioned in chapter 25.
* ''Literature/LordDarcy'':
** Lord Darcy's deductive technique, along with a sidekick who's something like a doctor and the series's vaguely Victorian-era tech level, are reminiscent of the Literature/SherlockHolmes stories. The series doesn't, however, contain any characters who are direct equivalents (at least in the stories penned by Garrett himself, who stuck to cameos by detectives contemporary with the story's 1960s-70s time period).
** "A Case of Identity", the second Lord Darcy story, shares a title with the third Sherlock Holmes short story, although the mysteries in the two stories are widely different.
** In "Matter of Gravity", the local policeman suggests that the victim was attacked by a demon or fire elemental; Master Sean soon disproves the hypothesis, and it seems to have been thrown in largely as an excuse to have somebody say "Elemental, my dear Doctor".
** ''Too Many Magicians'' has this exchange, which is nearly identical to the "dog in the night-time" one from "Silver Blaze":
--->"I should like to call your attention to the peculiar condition of that knife."\\
Master Sean frowned. "But... there was nothing peculiar about the condition of that knife."\\
"Precisely. That was the peculiar condition."
** Creator/MichaelKurland's Lord Darcy novel ''A Study in Sorcery'' throws in a few more Holmes references, starting with the title and including Irene Eagleson, an American opera singer with an adventurous past.
* ''Literature/TheMagiciansNephew'': ''“In those days Mr. Literature/SherlockHolmes was still living in [[Creator/ArthurConanDoyle Baker Street]] and the [[Creator/ENesbit Bastables]] were looking for treasure in the Lewisham Road.”''
* In Umberto Eco's ''Literature/TheNameOfTheRose'', [[AmateurSleuth William of Baskerville]] talks about his good friend William of Ockham. Whereas the "of Baskerville" suggests a connection to another [[Literature/SherlockHolmes asexual detective of analytical mind]].
* In Creator/IsaacAsimov's "Literature/TheObviousFactor": Mr Eldridge quotes from ''Franchise/SherlockHolmes'': "When the impossible has been eliminated, then whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth."
* In Creator/TSEliot's ''Literature/OldPossumsBookOfPracticalCats'' "Macavity, the Mystery Cat" is an extended ShoutOut to [[Literature/SherlockHolmes Professor Moriarty]].
-->He sways his head from side to side\\
With movements like a snake\\
And when you think he's half asleep,\\
He's always wide awake.

* ''Literature/OnTheRoad'' refers to nosy cops as Sherlock.

* In Creator/IsaacAsimov's "Literature/OutOfSight": Mr Long mentions a dish of curried lamb being put under his nose during the incident, alluding to the curried mutton from "[[Literature/SherlockHolmes Silver Blaze]]", which was an important clue toward the incident [[spoiler:being an InsideJob, just like this story.]].

* Evie the Mist Fairy from ''Literature/RainbowMagic'', who loves mystery books, is said to fancy herself as Fairyland's Sherlock Holmes.
* In ''Literature/TheSilenceOfMurder'', Hope's mother calls her "Sherlock Hopeless" for wanting to find her brother innocent.
* In the mystery "The Story of the Lost Special", an "amateur reasoner of some celebrity" proposes a solution to the mystery and even uses Holmes's catchphrase about eliminating the impossible. It's hard not to see a TakeThat to the Great Detective when his suggestion turns out to be completely incorrect -- particularly since "The Story of the Lost Special" was also written by Creator/ArthurConanDoyle.
* In the second ''Literature/TruemanBradley'' book, Trueman has become a Sherlock Holmes fan and tries to emulate him.
* ''Literature/WanderingDjinn'': Malik admits that he's a fan of both ''Sherlock Holmes'' and ''ComicBook/SpiderMan''.
* ''Literature/WestMeadowsDetectives'': Myron is working on a ''Mystery-o-pedia'' of fictional detectives and their famous mysteries. In the first book, he's upset when his cutout of Sherlock Holmes briefly goes missing.
* ''Literature/AWolfInTheSoul'': Greg's therapist, who really does more mystery unraveling than psychoanalyzing, is named Holmes.
* In ''Literature/ZenobiaJuly'', Arli calls Zen "a young Sherlock Holmes of the Internet" and asks if vo can be her Watson.

* In ''Series/DiagnosisMurder'' episode "[[Recap/DiagnosisMurderS4E12InDefenseOfMurder In Defense of Murder]]", Mark Sloan suggests getting a manuscript by the method from "A Scandal in Bohemia ": cause an evacuation of the building using a bomb scare, and then the culprit would pick up the incriminating manuscript.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"]]: The whole story is essentially "Sherlock Holmes vs. Literature/FuManchu," with the Fourth Doctor and Leela filling the roles of Holmes (complete with a deerstalker hat and Inverness cape) and Watson. Litefoot's landlady is named Mrs. Hudson.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E2ToothAndClaw "Tooth and Claw"]]: The Doctor, while passing himself off as "Dr. James [=McCrimmon=]", says that he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh under Dr. Bell. Bell was one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's teachers and a likely inspiration for ''Literature/SherlockHolmes''.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E1SmithAndJones "Smith and Jones"]]: The Doctor faking illness to investigate a hospital is similar to what Literature/SherlockHolmes does in "The Dying Detective".
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E1DeepBreath "Deep Breath"]]'s restaurant scene is similar to the one in ''Film/SherlockHolmesAGameOfShadows'': In Victorian London, a highly intelligent, gorgeously-costumed girl meets an eccentric genius in a restaurant who proceeds to insult her (they make up later). Then, it turns out all the patrons were in on the bad guy's plot; they get up simultaneously and leave the girl to her fate (though Clara fares better than [[spoiler:Irene]]).
* ''{{Series/Endeavour}}'':
** In "Girl" Morse and Strange go for a drink in the White Horse - an Oxford pub that made several appearances in [[Series/InspectorMorse the original series]]. Their reading material is ''Moriarty's Police Law'' - this is actually ''not'' an ironic reference to Sherlock Holmes's arch-enemy but a real book on British police procedure which would be essential reading for constables looking to take their sergent's exam.
** In "Prey" a body is found with marks suggesting an attack by a tiger or similar big cat. Morse raises the possibility that a weapon specially made to leave such marks could have been used. The Literature/SherlockHolmes story "The Veiled Lodger" includes such a weapon, [[spoiler:though in both cases the marks turn out to be from an actual animal attack.]]
** "Oracle": Morse's description of Fred Thursday as "the best and wisest of men" echoes Dr Watson's comment about Literature/SherlockHolmes after the latter's assumed death at the Reichenbach Falls in "The Adventure of the Final Problem".
* ''Series/FantasyIsland'':
** In "Amusement Park/Rock Stars," Tattoo reads a ''Sherlock Holmes'' book Roarke gave him and afterwards shows up for work dressed as Holmes. Later in the episode, he tries to become a master of disguise by dressing up as a pirate and a chicken.
** In "Jungle Man," Roarke lists Sherlock Holmes as an example of a fictional character who is iconic enough to come to life.
* ''{{Series/House}}'': As the main character is unabashadley inspired by Sherlock there are plenty of references in the show:
** Indeed, the entire series itself is a gigantic ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' reference. House's name is similar to "Holmes", and they're both of great deductive mind, though while Holmes seems to be a free agent, House is an employed diagnostician. Indeed, Wilson is similar to "Watson" in both name and the fact that both men are loyal companions to House and Holmes. It even makes reference to an Irene Adler at a few points.
** House's driver license lists his address as 221 Baker Street, Apt. B. This is the same address as Sherlock Holmes.
** House says "There is only one truth" - a famous Literature/SherlockHolmes quote.
** The man who shot House in the episode "No Reason" is named Moriarty.
** [[Website/TheOtherWiki TOW]] has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_House#Parallels_to_Sherlock_Holmes a paragraph]] about this.

* ''Series/TheLoveBoat'':
** In "Ex Plus Y/Golden Agers/Graham and Kelly," Kelly pretends to be Sherlock Holmes and addresses Graham as "Watson" while she tries to solve the mystery of who threw up in his classmate's galoshes.
** In "Murder on the High Seas," Isaac has become convinced that two guests are plotting Stubing's murder, but Gopher doesn't believe him and says, "Sherlock Holmes, you are not."
** In "Take My Boyfriend, Please," a cheerleader's stalker follows her aboard. Her coworker remarks, "Looks like Sherlock Holmes has tracked you down."

* ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'': AmateurSleuth Misty just can't understand why fellow amateur Walter would go to so much fuss just to meet her.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]

** Sherlock Holmes is a Ruler-class servant in the game, though by his own admission he should have been a Caster. He is first referenced in the fourth Singularity before appearing in the sixth, successfully solving the mystery behind the actions and behaviour of the BigBad. Afterwards, he is a steadfast ally to Chaldea, eventually serving as the technical advisor during the Lostbelt arc. When asked about the books featuring him - since Mash is a huge fan of them - he says that he and Watson asked Arthur Conan Doyle to write them as a source of extra income.
** The main ally and [[spoiler:DiabolicalMastermind]] of Pseudo-Singularity I is no other than [[spoiler:James Moriarty]], hatching an incredible plan that combined [[spoiler:MemoryGambit]], BatmanGambit and his own genius to [[spoiler:hatch a feasible plan to destroy the planet just to surpass Holmes]]. He had everyone played like a fiddle up until the last second. Holmes later admits that [[spoiler:he deliberately told Watson to downplay his conflict with Moriarty when passing information to Doyle in fear that Moriarty would become ''too'' infamous.]]
** An alternate version of [[spoiler:James Moriarty shows up in the interstitial story between the final two Lostbelts as a Ruler-class Servant, this version being a YoungerAndHipper man in his 20s who has yet to ascend to his status as criminal mastermind supreme that his Archer counterpart represents and is [[CompositeCharacter fused with the Norns]] of Myth/NorseMythology by his Master, the Foreign World. As he does not have the memories of his older version, only vaguely aware of what happens in his future, he arranges a plot to out Sherlock Holmes as a [[TheDragon Disciple]] of the [[BigBad Foreign God]] at waterfalls he designates Reichenbach to murder him in recreation of "The Final Problem" and take over Chaldea. Unfortunately Holmes simply [[HeroicSacrifice lets himself die first]] in order to recreate Moriarty's final fate and negate his WindsOfDestinyChange power granted by the Norns, resulting in Moriarty's defeat by Chaldea once again.]]
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'': One of the quests is titled [[Literature/SherlockHolmes Kurobana Holmes]].
* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': In her own story quest, Amber quotes ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' after she crossed a large gap to reach Raptor:

* ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'': "Apocalypse Scandal": This web event is a reference to the Literature/SherlockHolmes story "A Scandal in Bohemia", which features Irene Adler. In the event's story, "Conan Doyle" (i.e you) is the "Holmes" figure, Fu Hua (in her Hawk of the Fog suit) is the "Watson" figure, Otto is the "King of Bohemia" figure (the scandal is different in his case, even though it also features a photograph as a blackmail material), and Rita (as Fallen Rosemary) acts as "Irene Adler".
* ''VideoGame/{{Lemmings}}'': One level has the PunBasedTitle "It's lemmingentry, Watson".
* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'': Big Band's quotes include "[[Literature/SherlockHolmes The world is full of obvious things]]".

* ''WebAnimation/{{hololive}}'': The VTuber [[Characters/HololiveEnglishGenerationOneMyth Amelia Watson]] is named after John Watson, and is claimed to be his descendant, as well as being a detective herself, albeit of much stranger phenomena than the books' usual fare.
