Phillip Walsh (15 March 1960 – 3 July 2015) was an Australian rules footballer and coach. Walsh played for Collingwood, Richmond and the Brisbane Bears in the Victorian Football League (VFL) between 1983 and 1990. Upon ending his playing career, Walsh held assistant coaching roles at Geelong, West Coast and Port Adelaide before being appointed as the senior coach of the Adelaide Football Club for a three-season contract beginning in 2015.

On 3 July 2015, Walsh was found dead at the age of 55 in his Somerton Park home with multiple stab wounds. His son Cy was charged with his murder, and he was later found not guilty due to mental incompetence.
