Place the softened cream cheese into a small bowl and stir until smooth and spreadable.
Lay a slice of deli ham on a clean cutting board or flat work surface.
Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese over the entire surface of the ham slice using a butter knife or spatula.
Place one pitted green olive at one end of the ham slice. Roll the ham tightly around the olive, forming a neat spiral.
Repeat the process for the remaining ham slices, cream cheese, and olives.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll-up crosswise into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Secure each pinwheel with a toothpick or cocktail stick to hold them in place.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm them up before serving.
Serve chilled as an appetizer or party snack.
