[[Sir Philip Andrew Davies]] (born 5 January 1972) is a British Conservative politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Shipley in West Yorkshire since the 2005 general election.

He is the most rebellious serving Conservative MP, having voted against the Tory whip over 250 times in the course of his parliamentary career. He has been criticised for filibustering parliamentary bills not supported by the government and killing off legislation he doesn't like.

Sir Philip is a campaigner for [[men's issues]] and is known for campaigns against [[political correctness]] and [[feminism]]. He played a lead role in securing the first [[International Men's Day]] debate in Parliament in 2015, which now takes place annually.  He has said that white, male ministers risk being "hoofed out" of the government to make way for women or minority ethnic MPs.

Sir Philip spoke at [[ICMI16]].

On 29 March 2024 it was announced that Sir Philip had been granted a knighthood in the honours list.<ref>https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/24220691.shipley-mp-philip-davies-recommended-knighthood/</ref><ref>https://archive.is/wip/kZ3NM</ref><ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68686662</ref><ref>https://archive.is/KmgaW</ref>
