Philip Mangano (born Filippo Mangano; Italian: [fiˈlippo ˈmanɡaːno]; April 13, 1898 – April 19, 1951) was an Italian-born caporegime and second consigliere in the Gambino crime family in New York City and reigned consigliere for 20 years between 1931 and 1951 when his brother, Vincent, was boss.

Mangano was involved with the International Longshoremen's Association and in New York City politics.

In 1923, Mangano was indicted on murder charges, but was never convicted.[1]

Mangano had been shot three times; once in the neck and twice in the face.[1] He was murdered along with his brother on the orders of family underboss Albert Anastasia in Brooklyn in 1951.[2]
