St Luce Philip was a Trinidadian doctor and planter. Part of the prominent coloured (mixed-race) Philip family, he was the brother of Jean-Baptiste Philip and a relative — possibly the uncle — of Michel Maxwell Philip.

Philip was the first non-white person appointed to the Legislative Council of Trinidad and Tobago. He was appointed to the Council as an Unofficial member by acting governor Murray Macgregor in 1838.
