Philip Harwood (1809 – 10 December 1887) was an English journalist and Unitarian minister, known as the editor of the Saturday Review.
In 1839 he officiated for a time at St. Mark's Chapel, Edinburgh, where his scepticism about miracles involved him in an acrimonious controversy with George Harris of Glasgow, and other members of his denomination.
[1] In 1840, Harwood moved from Bridport to London, where he became in 1841 assistant minister to William Johnson Fox at South Place Chapel.
He moved to The Spectator, and about 1849 he joined John Douglas Cook as sub-editor of the Morning Chronicle, then recently acquired for the Peelite faction.
The Chronicle was sold in 1854, and Harwood followed Cook to the Saturday Review, which was started in November 1855.
