Philip Francis Murphy (March 25, 1933 – September 2, 1999) was an American clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Baltimore from 1976 until his death in 1999.
Philip Murphy was born in Cumberland, Maryland, to Philip and Kathleen (née Huth) Murphy. He received his early education at the parochial school of St. Mary's Church in his native city. After graduating from high school, he attended St. Charles College in Catonsville. He made his theological studies at St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, from where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1955. He continued his studies at the Pontifical North American College in Rome, and earned a Licentiate of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in 1959.
While in Rome, Murphy was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Martin John O'Connor on December 20, 1958. Upon his return to the United States, he was appointed curate at St. Bernardine Church and vocation director at Mount St. Joseph High School, both in Baltimore. He became assistant vice-rector at the North American College in 1961, and was named a papal chamberlain in 1965. Returning to Baltimore, he was made secretary to Cardinal Lawrence Shehan. In addition to his duties as secretary, he was named vice-chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore in 1968, and chancellor of pastoral concerns and vicar for personnel in 1971.
