Alison Phillips (born 1970) is a British journalist and the editor of the Daily Mirror. Phillips grew up in Essex and first worked as a reporter for the Harlow Star Weekly Newspaper. She then attended the University of Leeds where she took a secondment for a year as the editor of the student newspaper (the Leeds Student, now called the Gryphon). She then worked for the Evening Argus in Brighton, Connors News Agency and Woman Magazine before joining Trinity Mirror (now Reach) in 1998 as a feature writer on the Sunday People magazine.

In 2016 Phillips launched The New Day, a national newspaper which aimed to deliver politically neutral news. However, the new venture failed to reach target circulation and was closed two months after its launch. Later that year she was made Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Trinity Mirror papers.

In 2018 Phillips was named as the editor of the Daily Mirror.

In 2018 she was named a “Columnist of the Year” at the National Press Awards. She is deputy co-chair of the Women in Journalism network.
