Let $X$ be a Banach space of holomorphic functions on the unit disk. A linear polynomial approximation scheme for $X$ is a sequence of bounded linear operators $T_{n} :X\rightarrow X$ with the property that, for each $f\in X$, the functions $T_{n}\left ( f \right )$ are polynomials converging to $f$ in the norm of the space. We completely characterize those spaces $X$ that admit a linear polynomial approximation scheme. In particular, we show that it is not sufficient merely that polynomials be dense in $X$.
