General Sir Philip Honywood KB (also spelled Honeywood; c.1677 – 17 June 1752) was a British Army officer.
He entered the Army as an ensign in James Stanley's regiment of foot on 12 June 1694, and served under King William III in the Netherlands. He was promoted to captain in the Royal Fusiliers on 1 April 1696, and captain in the Earl of Huntingdon's newly raised regiment on 10 March 1702. In the reign of Queen Anne he shared in the toils and dangers of two campaigns in Brabant under John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, and afterward transferred his services to Spain. He was rewarded for his excellent conduct with the lieutenant-colonelcy of the regiment, now Wade's (and later the 33rd). On 27 May 1709 he was promoted to the colonelcy of the 92nd Regiment, which was disbanded in 1712, and in 1710 he obtained the rank of brigadier-general.
