Philippe Liébert (August 9, 1733 – September 23, 1804) was a French Canadian soldier who fought on the U.S. side of the American Revolutionary War, serving in Moses Hazen's 2nd Canadian Regiment of the Continental Army.

He served with Clément Gosselin in Quebec for 23 years, from 1754 until 1777.[1][2]
