Philip Norman Alderslade (* 24. November 1943 in Edmonton, UK) ist ein britischer Weichkorallentaxonom. 1995 machte er seinen PhD an der James Cook University.
Alderslade arbeitete als Forschungsassistent in der Zoologie-Abteilung der University of Queensland, danach nahm er von 1974 bis 1981 eine Stellung als Meeresbiologe am Roche Research Institute of Marine Pharmacology, in Sydney an. Seit 1981 ist er der Kurator für Nesseltiere am Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in Darwin.
Er beschäftigt sich vor allem mit der Systematik der Octocorallia und hat zusammen mit Katharina Fabricius das Standardwerk Soft Corals and Sea Fans, a comprehensive guide to the tropical shallow-water genera of the Central-West Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea publiziert.
Die Weichkoralle Paraminabea aldersladei (Williams, 1992) und der Vielborster Alcyonosyllis phili Glasby & Watson, 2001, der als Kommensale auf der Gorgonie Melithaea flabellifera lebt, wurden zu Ehren Alderslades benannt. 2006 benannte Lisa-Ann Gershwin eine neue Gattung der Hydrozoen Aldersladia
