Phillip John Donahue (b. December 21, 1935 in Cleveland, Ohio) is the creator and star of The Phil Donahue Show, also known as Donahue, the first tabloid talk show. The show enjoyed a 27-year run on national (U.S.) TV, plus two years of local broadcast in Dayton, Ohio before ending. Although it ended in 1996, the show briefly reemerged as an MSNBC offering in 2002–2003.

His shows have generally focused on issues that often divide liberals and conservatives in the U.S., such as women's reproductive rights, consumer protection (his most frequent guest was Ralph Nader, for whom he campaigned in 2000), civil rights and war protests.
