Brenda Phillips, born on 18 January 1958, is a former field hockey player from Zimbabwe who was a member of the national team that won the gold medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Because of the boycott by the United States and other countries, only one team was available to compete in the women's field hockey tournament, the hosting Soviet Union team. A late request was sent to the government of Zimbabwe, which quickly assembled a team less than a week before the competition began. The team won, claiming Zimbabwe's only medal at the 1980 Games.
