Phil Veivers (born 25 May 1964 in Beaudesert, Queensland) is an Australian former rugby league footballer. He played for the Southern Suburbs, St. Helens and Huddersfield as a full-back. He is the brother of Australian international rugby league captain Greg Veivers.

Veivers' father Jack Veivers played rugby league for Souths and Queensland; his cousin Mick Veivers represented the Australia in the 1960s and his cousin Tom Veivers played Test cricket for Australia. He moved to St. Helens the same time fellow Australian and Souths teammate Mal Meninga did, but where Meninga returned to his homeland Veivers stayed in England after marrying and having children, only returning to Australia for holidays and visiting his family. He was assistant to Brian Noble in charge of Bradford through their trophy days and continued partnership with Noble at Wigan.

In 1997, he represented Scotland in a match against France.

Veivers had a spell as caretaker manager at Salford when Shaun McRae was ill and was promoted from assistant coach to head coach in November 2011. He was sacked as head coach at Salford after four games of the 2013 Super League season.
