Philip Henry Dugro (October 3, 1855 – March 1, 1920) was an American lawyer, judge, and U.S. Representative from New York, serving from 1881 to 1883.

In 1909, Dugro gained national attention for his decision in a case involving George W. Griffin, an African American Pullman porter.

[4]The ruling spurred outrage among African Americans nationwide, who called it "perhaps the most infamous opinion in a Northern court of law during the present generation" and Dugro a "20th century Judge Taney," after Roger Taney, author of the notorious Dred Scott decision.

"[1] The writer and activist James Weldon Johnson wrote of Dugro: He has been on the bench for a great many years.
