Tony McPhee (born Anthony Charles McPhee, 23 March 1944, at Redlands House, near Humberston, Lincolnshire) is an English blues guitarist, and founder of The Groundhogs.

The Groundhogs backed Champion Jack Dupree and John Lee Hooker on UK concerts in the mid-1960s,[1] evolving into a blues-rock trio that produced three UK Top 10 hits in the UK Albums Chart in the early 1970s.

McPhee has also released many solo acoustic blues records, as well as duets with Jo Ann Kelly. He is often credited as 'Tony (TS) McPhee'. He was dubbed TS by the producer Mike Vernon in the mid-1960s. Apart from the Groundhogs, McPhee has played with Herbal Mixture, the John Dummer Band, Tony McPhee's Terraplane, Tony McPhee's Turbo and the Tony McPhee Band.

In 2009 McPhee suffered a stroke which affected his speech and ability to sing.[2]
