Phillip "Philly" Ryan (1916–1991) was an Irish hurler who played for the Tipperary senior team.

Born in Borrisoleigh, County Tipperary, Ryan first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor team. He joined the senior panel during the 1937 championship. Ryan was a non-playing substitute for that year but was recalled to the team fourteen years later. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals and two Munster medals as a non-playing substitute.

At club level Ryan was a three-time championship medallist with Borris–Ileigh.

Ryan retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1951 championship.

In retirement from playing Ryan became involved in team management and coaching. He was a selector with the Tipperary under-21 team between 1969 and 1970.
