Willy Philippsborn (born 18 June 1910 in Bentschen/Poland) was a German Jewish former inmate of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp and after the founding of the National Buchenwald Memorial (NMG) was a guide to the memorial.

Philippsborn was brought in 1939 to Buchenwald concentration camp and given prisoner number 3447. With the help of Robert Siewart, he worked in a construction unit at the mason school and was able to survive until the camp was liberated.

After the war he would lead groups of visitors through the National Buchenwald Memorial.
