Philip McCracken (b. 1928 in Bellingham, Washington) is an American visual artist, who works mainly in sculpture. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1953[1], having interrupted his studies to serve as an army reservist for the Korean War.[2] He then studied for a time under Henry Moore in England.[3] He now lives on Guemes Island.

His work contains much nature imagery, is generally representational, and displays a strong focus on visual form.

His work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution, the Chicago Art Institute, and the Museum of Northwest Art.[4]
