Sir Philip Wentworth, Knight, of Nettlestead, Suffolk (1424 - 18 May 1464) was an English knight.

He was Usher of the King's Chamber, King's Sergeant, Esquire of the Body, King's Carver, Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, Knight of the Shire for Suffolk, Constable of Llanstephen and Clare Castles, Chief Steward of the Honour of Clare.

He was the son of Sir Roger Wentworth, Esq., then Kt., of Parlington, Yorkshire, and of Nettlestead, Suffolk (died 24 October 1452), by wife, as her second husband, married before 2 March 1422/1423, Margery le Despencer (c. 1400 - 20 April 1478), widow of John de Ros, 8th Baron de Ros, daughter and heiress of Philip le Despencer, 2nd Baron le Despencer, Knight.

He married Mary Clifford, daughter of John Clifford, 7th Baron de Clifford and Lady Elizabeth Percy.

From Douglas Richardson's Plantagenet Ancestry:

In 1458 he and his mother, Margery, Lady Ros, and their children "of both sexes" received a papal indult that a confessor of their choice may absolve them from all their vows and grant them absolution for their sins.

Philip Wentworth served in the army of King Henry VI of England, and died intestate 18 May 1464, being beheaded at Middleham, Yorkshire, after the Battle of Hexham, where he had been taken prisoner by the Yorkists. His wife, Mary, was buried at the Friars Minor at Ipswich, Suffolk.
