Gerald Courtenay Phillips (3 November 1886 — 26 January 1938) was a Welsh first-class cricketer and British Indian Army officer.

The son of P. S. Phillips, he was born in November 1886 at Crumlin, Monmouthshire. He was educated at Marlborough College,[1] where he played for the college cricket team.[2] Going to British India, Phillips served in the British Indian Army Reserve during the First World War, being commissioned as a second lieutenant in June 1915,[3] with him holding the rank of captain in April 1918.[4] During the war, he served on the Western Front and in Palestine with the Poona Horse.[5] While in India, he played first-class cricket as a batsman for the Europeans cricket team, making nine appearances in the Bombay Quadrangular Matches from 1910 to 1926. He also made one non-Quadrangular appearance for the Europeans, in addition to playing for a combined Europeans and Parsees team against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club in 1926.[6] Phillips scored 551 runs in his eleven first-class matches at an average of 30.61, with six half centuries and a highest score of 94.[7] He also bowled on occasion, taking 4 wickets.[8] Outside of cricket, he was in business in Bombay.[5] Phillips retired to England, where he was resident at Kingsland. In his latter years, he was cared for in a residential care home in London, where he died in January 1938.[9] His brothers, Frank and Noel, both played first-class cricket.
