Philippa of Clarence (16 August 1355 – 5 January 1382) was the suo jure Countess of Ulster.

She was born at Eltham Palace in Kent on 16 August 1355, the only child of Lionel of Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence, and Elizabeth de Burgh, 4th Countess of Ulster. Her father was the third son, but second son to survive infancy, of King Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault.

Philippa married Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March, in 1368 at the age of twelve in the Queen's Chapel at Reading Abbey, an alliance that would have far-reaching consequences in English history. Her cousin, King Richard II remained childless, making Philippa and her descendants next in line to the throne until his deposition.

Philippa died in 1378, and was buried at Wigmore Abbey, Herefordshire.

Her children with Edmund Mortimer were as follows:
