The Phoenix Club was a minstrelsy company, briefly active in Cape Town in 1868.

The club was possibly founded in imitation of the Y.M.I. Amateur Christy's and performed in the St Aloysius Hall in October. Shown were inter alia a "comic scene" called Who's Bones and a "negro farce" called The Mischievous Nigger.
