Philip John Lawlor (born 2 July 1965) is an Irish former rugby union international.

Lawlor, a Newbridge College product, grew up in County Kildare and comes from a well known family. His mother Patsy and elder brother Anthony both served in the Seanad Éireann as Senators for Fine Gael.[1]

Originally with Naas RFC, Lawlor later played for Bective Rangers and Leinster as a back-row forward. He was capped three times for Ireland, debuting against Argentina at Lansdowne Road in 1990.[2] His next opportunity came against the touring Australians in 1992 and he featured once in the 1993 Five Nations Championship.[3]
