Philip Anthony Esposito, born February 20, 1942, is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player, coach, executive, and broadcaster for the Tampa Bay Lightning. A centre, he played 18 seasons in the National Hockey League for the Chicago Black Hawks, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers, winning two Stanley Cups with Boston. He is the older brother of Hall of Fame goaltender Tony Esposito.

Esposito became the first player to score more than 100 points in a season, recording 126 in 1968–69, a total he surpassed a further five times. In 1970–71 he became the first player to score 50 goals in five consecutive seasons, setting then-records of 76 goals and 152 points in that same season. Over his career he won the Art Ross Trophy as the league's leading point scorer five times, led the league in goals six times, was awarded the Hart Trophy as most valuable player twice, and was named a first-team All-Star centre six times.

After retiring as a player, Esposito served as head coach and general manager of the Rangers for two seasons. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
