Philip Dorn, born Hein van der Niet and sometimes billed as Frits van Dongen, (30 September 1901 - 9 May 1975) was a Dutch actor who had a career in Hollywood.

Dorn was born in Scheveningen, South Holland and made his stage debut at age 14 in Dutch productions. By the 1930s he was a popular matinee idol and was acting in films. He moved to America when World War II broke out and acted in a number of films, starting with "Enemy Agent" in 1940. He was usually cast as Continental lovers, anti-Nazi Germans or refugees. His notable films include "Random Harvest" (1942), "Reunion in France" (1942), "Blonde Fever" (1944), "Passage to Marseille" (1944), and "I Remember Mama" (1948). In the 1950s, he returned to Europe and acted in German films. Dorn suffered from phlebitis, requiring surgery and causing a number of strokes. After an accident on stage, he retired in 1955 and spent the next 20 years of his life in his home in California.

He died of a heart attack in Los Angeles. He was married to the Dutch actress Marianne van Dam.
