Phil Norman (born 20 October 1989) is an English athlete specialising in the 3000 metres steeplechase.[3][4]

He became British champion when winning the 3000 metres steeplechase event at the 2020 British Athletics Championships in a time of 8 min 32.51 secs.[5][6] He represented Great Britain at Tokyo Olympics in 2021 where he went out in the semi-finals.[5]

Norman set a personal best of 8:18.65 in winning the steeplechase title at the 2024 British Athletics Championships, but was not selected for the Paris Olympics, despite being given an invitation to compete by World Athletics, as his time was 0.15 seconds off the standard set by UK Athletics.[7][8]
