Emanuel Phillips Fox (12 March 1865 – 8 October 1915) was an Australian impressionist painter. Born and raised in Melbourne, Victoria, Fox studied at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School. He travelled to Paris to study in 1886 and remained in Europe until 1892, when he returned to Melbourne and led what is considered the second phase of the Heidelberg School, an impressionist art movement which had developed in the city during his absence.

He spent over a decade in Europe in the early 20th century before finally settling in Melbourne, where he died. Fox's wife Ethel Carrick was also a noted impressionist painter.
