Philip Breda Vanderbyl (11 November 1867 – 20 March 1930) was an English first-class cricketer, traveller, hunter and soldier.

The son of the politician Philip Vanderbyl, he was born at Kensington in November 1867. He later studied at Pembroke College, Cambridge.[1] He was a member of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and played one first-class match for the club against Worcestershire at Lord's in 1900.[2] Vanderbyl batted once in the match, scoring 38 runs before he was dismissed by R. E. Foster in the MCC first innings.[3] Soon after this match he served in South Africa in the Second Boer War.[1] Vanderbyl was a keen traveller and took part in big-game hunts during his travels.[1] He was elected a fellow of the Zoological Society of London in 1906.[4] Vanderbyl later served in the First World War with the Royal Garrison Artillery, being commissioned as a second lieutenant in November 1914. He transferred to the Warwick Royal Horse Artillery in June 1915, being granted the temporary rank of captain; by June 1916, he had been promoted to the full rank. Vanderbyl died in Egypt at Cairo in March 1930.
