Philippe Wynne (1941-1984), often spelt Philippé Wynne, was an American R&B singer. He is best known as one of the lead singers of the The Spinners from 1970 to 1977, the most successful period for the long running group, with Wynne singing lead on three R&B No.1s.

Leaving the Spinners in 1977 to pursue a solo career, Wynne released three albums: Starting All Over (1977), Wynne Jammin' (1980), and Philippe Wynne (1984). In addition, he sang with George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, members of which produced and played on his second album.

In addition to being a gifted singer, Wynne was a songwriter, penning seven of the nine songs on his debut and many others on his subsequent records. Unfortunately, as a solo artist he failed to achieve the commercial success he had had with the Spinners.

Philippe Wynne died in 1984, after suffering a fatal heart attack while performing at a nightclub.
