Phillips Gybbon

Phillips Gybbon (11 October 1678-12 March 1762), of Hole Park, Rolvenden, in Kent, was an English Member of Parliament.

Gybbon entered Parliament in 1707 as Whig member for Rye, and represented the constituency until his death 55 years later. Early in his career he was appointed a Commissioner of Revenue in Ireland, and in the 1720s was Chairman of the Committee of Privileges and Elections. From 1726 to 1730, he was Surveyor-General of Land Revenues.

For the next few years he was in opposition, supporting Pulteney against Robert Walpole's administration. On Walpole's fall in 1742, Gybbon was appointed a Lord of the Treasury in Wilmington's government, retaining the post after Henry Pelham replaced Wilmington in 1743 but losing office in the reshuffle after Carteret was sacked at the end of 1744.
