Philip Lehman (November 9 1861 - March 21 1947) was an American investment banker. Philip Lehman was the son of Irving Lehman and grandson of Emanuel Lehman, a co-founder of Lehman Brothers investment bank. From 1901 to 1925, Philip Lehman was the president of the bank and was one of the first financiers to recognize the potential of issuing stock as a way for new companies to raise capital. Lehman began collecting major artworks in 1911, the bulk of which he willed to his son, Robert. Today, his collection forms part of the exhibition in the Robert Lehman Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
