James Robert Phillips (c.1864 - 1897) was the Deputy Commissioner and Consul-General for the Niger Coast Protectorate. He is remembered for his part in the events that led to the Benin Expedition of 1897. In 1897 Phillips set out to depose the King of Benin, although his reasons for doing so remain unclear. He and many of his party were killed as they approached Benin City. Although Phillips had acted without authority, after his death a British punitive force deposed the Benin monarchy, pillaged Benin City and took many riches including the Benin Bronzes back to Britain.
