Philippa of Antioch (1148–1178) was the younger daughter of Constance, Princess of Antioch and her first husband Raymond of Poitiers. She was Lady of Toron by her marriage to Humphrey II of Toron and she was a mistress of Andronikos I Komnenos, who had seduced her while he was a guest at her stepfather's court.

Philippa was the younger daughter of Constance's first marriage. Philippa's siblings were Bohemond III of Antioch and Maria of Antioch, who married Manuel I Komnenos.

In 1149, Philippa's father died in the Battle of Inab and her mother remarried in 1153 to Raynald of Châtillon. From this marriage at least one daughter was born, Agnes who married Bela III of Hungary. It is believed that another half-sister was born to Philippa from this marriage, believe to be called Jeanne who supposedly married Boniface I, Marquess of Montferrat.

Philippa's maternal grandparents were Bohemund II of Antioch and Alice of Antioch. Her paternal grandparents were William IX, Duke of Aquitaine and his second wife Philippa, Countess of Toulouse.

Andronikos I Komnenos lived under the rule of Manuel I Komnenos. He was always faithful to the emperor, but he refused to take an oath of allegiance to the future king Béla III of Hungary, whom Manuel desired to become his successor. He was removed from court, but received the province of Cilicia. Andronikos had even taken Manuel's niece, Eudokia Komnene as a mistress.
