Phillip William Read, MBE (1 January 1939 – 6 October 2022) was an English professional motorcycle racer.
He competed in Grand Prix motorcycle racing from 1961 to 1976. Read is notable for being the first competitor to win world championships in the 125 cc, 250 cc and 500 cc classes.

In 2013, Read was named an FIM Legend for his motorcycling achievements.
