Philip C. Pendleton (November 24, 1779 - April 3, 1863) served briefly as a federal judge in Virginia.

A native of Berkeley County, Virginia (now West Virginia), Pendleton attended Princeton University, graduating in 1796, and Dickinson College.

Pendleton was a member of the Board of Commissioners who met at the tavern at Rockfish Gap in 1818 and decided to locate the University of Virginia at Charlottesville - a group that included Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Marshall and among others, John G. Jackson, another future judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. (Pendleton's vote was for Lexington).

Pendleton received a recess appointment from John Quincy Adams on May 6, 1825, to a seat vacated by John G. Jackson on the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. His service terminated on July 29, 1825, due to his resignation. He was succeeded by Alexander Caldwell.
