Philip James "Phil" Picken (born 12 November 1985 in Droylsden, England) is an English football player. He is a defender and midfielder, and he joined Manchester United as a junior. Picken was an important member of the reserve team at United that won the quadruple in 2005.

Picken played for Chesterfield on a loan basis from August 18, 2005 until the end of the season. He will now stay at the club on a permanent basis after being released by Manchester United.

He made 37 appearances for Chesterfield in the 2007-08 season. He fell out of favour in the Chesterfield team in 2008/9, and was consequently loaned out to Notts County. However, the Spireites' manager was sacked at the end of the season and new manager, John Sheridan gave the whole squad a clean slate and Picken soon became the first choice right back at Saltergate again.
