Phil Belbin (1925–1993) was an Australian artist, illustrator, cartoonist and amateur cinematographer.
He is probably best known for creating what soon became known as the "Candy" multi-colour livery for the State Rail Authority in the 1980s.
He is still regarded as one of Australia's leading steam enthusiasts, and had an extensive personal collection of several small steam locos; loco name plates; builder's plates and other railway memorabilia.
His legacy lives on through his extensive film collection which he took in the final two decades of NSWGR steam.
