Herod Philip is not a term that contemporaries would have recognized. Some modern writers use it to refer to refer to two children of Herod the Great:
- Herod II (or 'Herod Philip I'), by Herod's third marriage, husband of Herodias
- Philip the Tetrarch (or 'Herod Philip II'), by Herod's sixth marriage, husband of Salome
