Philip Lehman (November 9 1861 ndash March 21 1947) was an American investment banker.

His father, Emanuel Lehman, was a co-founder of Lehman Brothers investment bank. The younger Lehman was the president of the bank from 1901 to 1925, and was one of the first financiers to recognize the potential of issuing stock as a way for new companies to raise capital.

Lehman began collecting major artworks in 1911, the bulk of which he willed to his son Robert. His collection today forms part of the exhibition in the Robert Lehman Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
