Peter Ian Philpott (born 21 November 1934, Manly, New South Wales) was a leg-spin bowler and middle order batsman for New South Wales and Australia in the 1960s.

He made his Test debut in the West Indies in 1964-65 and took 18 wickets (at 34.94) in the five Tests. Back home against England in the 1965-66 Ashes series he took 5/90 in the first innings of the First Test at Brisbane, forcing England to follow on, but took only 8 wickets (46.37) in the first three Tests of the series and was dropped.

He played for New South Wales from 1954-55 to 1966-67, and toured New Zealand with the Australian XI in 1966-67. His highest first-class score was 156 for New South Wales against Queensland in 1963-64.[1] His best bowling figures were 7 for 53 against Western Australia in 1960-61.[2] He captained New South Wales in several matches in 1963-64 and 1964-65.

He played as a professional in the Lancashire League for Ramsbottom in 1955, 1959 and 1960, and for East Lancashire in 1962.

He later became a prominent coach.
