Philip David Yancey (born November 4, 1949) is a retired American Christian author known for his works about spiritual issues. His books have sold more than 15 million copies in English and have been translated into 40 languages, making him one of the best-selling contemporary Christian authors. Two of his books won the ECPA's Christian Book of the Year Award: The Jesus I Never Knew in 1996, and What's So Amazing About Grace? in 1998. He was published by Hachette, HarperCollins Christian Publishing, InterVarsity Press, Rabbit Room Press, and Penguin Random House.

In January 2026, Yancey resigned from writing and speaking after confessing to a long-term affair with a married woman.
