Philip Hall (11 April 1904 to 30 December 1982) was an English mathematician whose major work was on group theory, notably on finite groups and solvable groups. He was educated first at Christ's Hospital, where he won the Thompson Gold Medal for mathematics, and later at King's College, Cambridge. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1951 and awarded its Sylvester Medal in 1961, served as President of the London Mathematical Society from 1955 to 1957, and received its Berwick Prize in 1958 and De Morgan Medal in 1965. Several results and structures in group theory carry his name.
