Philip Wenman, 6th Viscount Wenman (23 November 1719 – 16 August 1760), was a British landowner and politician.
He was the elder son of Richard Wenman, 5th Viscount Wenman, and Susanna Wenman (née Wroughton, daughter of Seymour Wroughton of Heskett).
He succeeded his father in the viscountcy in 1729, aged eleven. As the viscountcy was an Irish title, it did not entitle him to a seat in the English House of Lords.[1]
