Philip St. John Basil Rathbone MC (13 June 1892 – 21 July 1967) was an Anglo-South African actor.

His most famous role was that of Sherlock Holmes in fourteen Hollywood films made between 1939 and 1946 and in a radio series. Rathbone's later career included roles on Broadway, as well as self-ironic film and television work. In 1948, he shared the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play with two others.
