Phillip Jevons (born 1 August 1979) is an English football coach and former professional footballer who was most recently first team coach at EFL League One side Fleetwood Town.

As a player, he was a forward who played between 1996 and 2014 for Everton, Grimsby Town, Hull City, Yeovil Town, Bristol City, Huddersfield Town, Bury, Morecambe, Hyde and Stockport County. Jevons came through the youth academy at Premier League side Everton and was promoted to the club's first team squad in 1996. He made only eight league appearances before being sold to Grimsby Town in 2001. It was whilst a Grimsby player that he is notably remembered for scoring a last minute 30-yard extra time winning goal for The Mariners against his home town club Liverpool in the third round of the League Cup in 2001 which gave The Mariners a 2–1 victory at Anfield, having initially being 1–0 down. He went on to join Hull City on loan before returning to Grimsby for the 2003–04 campaign.

The following season he joined Yeovil Town where he hit 42 goals in 84 appearances in a two-year spell before signing for Bristol City. In 2008, he joined Huddersfield Town permanently following a short loan spell and again in 2009 was loaned out again to Bury and Morecambe. In 2010, he signed with Morecambe on a permanent basis notching up 12 goals in 65 appearances in his two-year stay. In 2012 following his release from the club he took his first step into non-League football by signing with newly promoted Conference National side Hyde. Jevons netted 15 goals in 35 appearances which aided Hyde's survival in the Conference but on 21 May 2013 he signed for Stockport County who had suffered relegation at the expense of Hyde. In 2014, he announced his retirement to focus on his coaching career. He played his last professional match for Stockport County in a 3–1 win over Harrogate Town in which he scored two goals.
