Philo Remington (October 31, 1816 – 1889) was the eldest son of Eliphalet Remington II, who was himself the only son of Eliphalet Remington, inventor of the Remington rifle.

In 1839 he joined his father's business, the name of which was already "E. Remington & Son". In 1845, when his brother, Samuel, also joined the firm, its name was changed to "E. Remington & Sons".

He was the manager of the mechanical department in his father's small-arms factory for over 25 years, and was active when the firm won the contract to manufacture what was then known as the Sholes and Glidden Type-Writer on March 1, 1873. These typewriters were later known as the Remington type-writer. Philo Remington retired in 1886.
