Phillip was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, in central Sydney and named after Arthur Phillip. It was originally created in the 1904 re-distribution of electorates following the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90.{{cite web |url=http://www.atlas.nsw.gov.au/public/nsw/home/topic/article/1904-redistribution.html |title=1904 Redistribution |work=Atlas of New South Wales |publisher=NSW Land & Property Information |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150623031821/http://www.atlas.nsw.gov.au/public/nsw/home/topic/article/1904-redistribution.html |archive-date=23 June 2015 |url-status=dead}} It consisted of part of the abolished seats of Sydney-Phillip and Darlington. It was initially south of Liverpool Street, east of George Street and City Road, north of Cleveland Street and west of Elizabeth Street. In 1920, with the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into Sydney. Phillip was recreated in 1927 and abolished in 1981 and partly replaced by Elizabeth.{{cite NSW election |title=Elections for the District of Phillip |year=DistrictIndexes |district=Phillip |access-date=18 December 2019}}{{NSW Parliamentary Record |part=5B |access-date=18 December 2019}}{{cite web |title=Former Members |work=Members of Parliament |publisher=Parliament of New South Wales |url=https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/members/formermembers/pages/former-members-index.aspx |access-date=18 December 2019}} From 1973 to 1981 it included Lord Howe Island.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article220215473 |title=PARLIAMENTARY ELECTORATES AND ELECTIONS ACT, 1912-1973 |newspaper=Government Gazette Of The State Of New South Wales |issue=89 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=6 July 1973 |accessdate=29 October 2021 |page=2950 |via=National Library of Australia}}
