Philip Samuel Masi (January 6, 1916 – March 29, 1990) was an American professional baseball player.
From 1939 though 1952, he played in Major League Baseball as a catcher for the Boston Braves (1939–1949), Pittsburgh Pirates (1949) and Chicago White Sox (1950–1952).
Although he was known for being one of the best defensive catchers of his era, Masi was notable for his involvement in a controversial play that occurred during the 1948 World Series between the Boston Braves and the Cleveland Indians.
