Philip Zec (25 December 1909 – 14 July 1983) was a British political cartoonist and editor.
Moving from the advertising industry to drawing political cartoons due to his abhorrence of the rise of fascism, Zec complemented the Daily Mirror editorial line with a series of venomous cartoons.
He was considered such an opponent during the Second World War that his name was on a list of persons to be arrested immediately if the Nazis had invaded Britain.
His cartoon on VE-day was said to have been a key factor in the Labour Party's 1945 general election campaign.
