Philippe Chiappe (born 21 November 1963) is a French driver in the Formula 1 Powerboat World Championship, currently competing for the CTIC F1 Shenzhen China Team.
Chiappe has spent all bar three of his seasons in F1 with Philippe Dessertenne's team which has undergone several name changes over the years and most recently has been heavily supported by Chinese sponsors.
As one of only four drivers to win back-to-back championships, Chiappe has done so in a French-based team, driving a French Moore boat.
His success has improved the sport's exposure in his own country and after his first title, France re-appeared on the series' calendar with a race of its own after an eight-year hiatus.
