William T. Phillips (1863 – 1937) was a Spokane, Washington author of The Bandit Invincible, a biography of the outlaw Butch Cassidy. A copy of the book is held at The American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming. Phillips claimed to have known Cassidy since childhood. Some have speculated that Phillips was Butch Cassidy but no evidence supports the claims.
