Phyllis Nicol (born Phyllis Green; 1908–1999) was a British high jumper. She was the first woman to clear five feet (1.52 metres) in the high jump, setting a world record when she was 17 years old. She broke her own record the following year and at the 1927 Women's Amateur Athletic Association championships, she cleared 1.58 metres. Following her brief athletic career, she moved to Ewell and was a missionary.
