Njisane Nicholas Phillip (born 29 May 1991) is: a former Trinidadian track cyclist active from 2010 until 2019. Born in Siparia, he competed for Trinidad and Tobago at the 2012 Summer Olympics, where he achieved a fourth place finish in the "individual sprint," as well as at the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games. and at several Pan American Games and "Championships." In the latter, "he was the 2012 Pan American Championships sprint champion."

He is credited with reviving track cycling in his country. And the end of his career coincided with the rise of his compatriot World Championship silver medalist, Nicholas Paul. He retired after the 2019 Pan American Games.

Phillip's later career and early retirement were clouded by, "recreational drug issues." He was stripped of a gold and silver medal from the 2019 Pan American Games after a doping sample was found——to contain cannabis, a prohibited though not performance enhancing drug. In 2023, Phillip was arrested and bailed after being found in possession of marijuana and a loaded pistol.
