We propose the first explicit holographic duals for a class of superconformal field theories of Argyres-Douglas type, which are inherently strongly coupled and provide a window onto remarkable nonperturbative phenomena (such as mutually nonlocal massless dyons and relevant operators of fractional dimension). The theories under examination are realized by a stack of M5-branes wrapped on a sphere with one irregular puncture and one regular puncture. In the dual 11d supergravity solutions, the irregular puncture is realized as an internal M5-brane source.
