Philip Adrian "Phil" Heath (born 24 November 1964) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Aldershot, Cardiff City, Oxford United and Stoke City.
Heath was born in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent and came through the youth system at the Victoria Ground making his debut against Coventry City on the final day of the 1982–83 season. He became a useful member of a struggling Stoke City side which was relegated with a record low points tally in 1984–85, Heath playing in 37 matches that season. He remained a regular under new manager Mick Mills in 1985–86 playing in 44 matches scoring four goals and at the end of the season Stoke turned down a bid of £150,000 from Everton for his services. He remained at Stoke and was highest league goalscorer in 1987–88 with eight goals.
At the end of the 1987–88 season he joined Oxford United for a fee of £100,000 where he spent two seasons and later had spells at Cardiff City and Aldershot before entering non-league football in 1992 with Aylesbury United.
