Phil Blake (born 24 November 1963) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1980s, and 90s, and is now a professional rugby union coach.
Originally a half back, Blake developed into a utility player and played first grade matches in all the backline positions, as well as at hooker and lock. He represented New South Wales on one occasion.
Blake has held coaching positions with the Wallabies, Western Force, Manly RUFC and Leicester Tigers.
Blake was born in London, England, but moved to Sydney with his family at an early age. While attending Christian Brothers College in Manly, Blake played for the Australian Schoolboys team in 1981. Phil Blake is the younger brother of former Manly, Canberra and South Sydney player Michael Blake.
Blake made his debut for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 12 of the 1982 season, coming off the bench for the Sea Eagles in their 20-19 win over Eastern Suburbs at Brookvale Oval. Blake played 14 games in his rookie year, playing five-eighth, centre and halfback. He scored 9 tries in 1982, and was a try scorer for Manly in their 21-8 loss to defending premiers Parramatta in the 1982 Grand Final. Blake won the Dally M Rookie of the Year award and was considered unlucky to miss out on selection for the 1982 Kangaroo tour.
