The Howitt-Phillips Company is a dramatic company founded by Charles Howitt and A. Phillips.

Also known as the Charles Howitt-A. Phillips Dramatic Co. or the Howitt-Phillips Company, it was apparently an offshoot of Leonard Rayne's professional company.

In 1909 Muriel Alexander became the leading-lady for this company upon her return from London , working for them until her return to London just before World War One.

In March of 1913 Lawrence Dunbar signed on with the company , as stage manager, for their season of plays including Bella Donna, A Member of Tattersall’s, Those Terrible Twins and Raffles.
