Philip Henri Gilbert (October 25, 1870 – October 18, 1932) was a lawyer and Democratic politician from Napoleonville in Assumption Parish in South Louisiana.
Gilbert was the district attorney of the Louisiana 27th Judicial District from 1908 to 1916 and judge of the same district from 1916 to 1920. As the President of the Louisiana State Senate from 1924 to 1926, Gilbert succeeded to the lieutenant governorship on an interim basis until the expiration of the regular term in 1928.
Gilbert was the son of Pierre J. Gilbert (1841-1899) and the former Ernestine Blanchard (1846-1905) of Napoleonville and active in Roman Catholicism. Instrumental in the construction of St. Anne's Catholic Church in Napoleonville, he was a church trustee and a founding member of his local chapter of the Catholic men's organization, the Knights of Columbus.
Until he was sixteen years old, Gilbert attended the public and private schools of Assumption Parish. In 1905, he began his studies at the Tulane University Law School in New Orleans, from which he obtained a Bachelor of Laws degree.
On January 24, 1894, Gilbert married Ella Marie Savoie (1872-1942), daughter of Sabin Savoie of Bell Rose, Louisiana, and Savoie's first wife, Camilla LeBlanc. The couple had eight children, Heloise, Thomas Bryan, Camille, Savoie S., Philip H., Jr., Edna, Laurence, and Leroy.
