The Philipse family was a prominent Dutch family in New Netherlands and the British Province of New York.
 It owned both the vast 81 sq mi (210 km²) hereditary estate in lower Westchester County, New York, Philipsburg Manor, the family seat, and the roughly 250 sq mi (650 km²) Highland Patent, later known as the "Philipse Patent", in time today's Putnam County, New York.

Loyalists during the Revolutionary War, the family had its lands seized in 1779 by the Revolutionary government of the Province of New York and sold by its Commissioners of Forfeitures.
Though never compensated for their losses by the Colonial government, various family members did receive payments from the British government in following years.
