Phillip Charles Manning (9 October 1906 – 4 November 1930) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Manning, a student of Xavier College, came to Hawthorn from Mentone.[1] He played in the final two rounds of the 1927 VFL season, against Melbourne and Richmond.[2]

On 4 November 1930, Manning was the passenger of a motor cycle which struck a parked wagon on Balcombe Road in Mentone. He was admitted to Alfred Hospital with a fractured skull and died later that day.[3]
