Philip Andrew Luty (19 October 1964 – 8 April 2011) was an English gun rights activist, who was notable for the production of homemade firearms and manuals providing instruction at the same time. He was charged with illegal arms construction in the late 1990s and sentenced to four years in prison, with other investigations ongoing at the time of his death.
