Leslie John (Jack) McPhillips was an Australian communist and trade unionist. He joined the Communist Party of Australia in 1929.

When the CPA denounced the Soviet intervention in Czechoslovakia, McPhillips sided with the pro-Soviet tendency in the party. He opposed the new 'Eurocommunist' line of the party. In 1971 he took part in breaking away from CPA and forming the Socialist Party of Australia. He became the President of SPA in 1984.

McPhillips died in 2004.
