Philip Smythe, 2nd Viscount Strangford (23 March 1634 – 8 August 1708) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1660.

Smythe died at the age of 74.

Smythe married firstly his cousin Isabella Sidney, daughter of Robert Sidney, 2nd Earl of Leicester. After her death in 1663, he married Mary, daughter of George Porter.[citation needed] He was succeeded by his son Endymion.[citation needed]
