Philippe Bozon (born November 30, 1966) is a former professional ice hockey player who played for the St. Louis Blues in the National Hockey League (NHL) between the 1991-92 and 1994-95 seasons. He is the first of only five French-born players to appear in the NHL, the other four being Cristobal Huet, Stéphane Da Costa, Antoine Roussel and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare.

Bozon began his career playing for the St. Jean Beavers in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League followed by four years competing in his native France. Playing for the Grenoble Brûleurs de Loups, he won the French championship in 1991. He was then recruited by the Blues and was used as a defensive-minded forward and occasionally on the scoring line with Brett Hull. After his time with the Blues, Bozon played professionally in Germany and Switzerland. In Germany, his Adler Mannheim team won the league championship in 1997, 1998 and 1999.
In addition to his professional career, Bozon appeared internationally for France, for which he competed in four Olympic Games.
He was inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 2008. On July 14, 2009, Bozon was named the head coach of the French national junior ice hockey team.
