Lena Philipsson, also known as Lena Ph, (born on January 19, 1966 in Vetlanda, Jönköpings län), is a Swedish pop singer and media personality.

Philipsson came to notice in the Swedish New Faces in 1982. Her career started with the single Boy/You Open My Eyes (1984) and with her participations at Melodifestivalen 1986, 1987 and 1988. In the early 1990s her fame increased in Sweden, and she continued to release albums of varying styles until 1997. In 2004, she returned after a seven year hiatus.

In 2004, she entered the Swedish Melodifestivalen for the fourth time as a solo artist, with "Det gör ont". She made it through the notoriously difficult semi-final process and emerged as the winner at the final on March 20, 2004, representing Sweden at the Eurovision song contest in Istanbul. The song, composed by Thomas Eriksson, combined up-tempo and disco themes. Philipsson's stage appearance caused much controversy in Swedish press and media because her performance, in a short fuchsia pink dress and high heels, consisted of dancing with the microphone stand in a fashion similar to Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.

Despite being listed as the third favourite to win the competition, in the actual event she finished in joint fifth place with Cyprus, this time performing the song in English as "It Hurts". She received four twelve-point votes on the night, from Finland, Denmark, Norway, and the Republic of Ireland. The album Det gör ont en stund på natten men inget på dan sold gold in just nine days, with "Det gör ont" as the lead single. It also spawned the huge hits "Delirium", "Lena Anthem" and "På gatan där jag Bor".

The Swedish radio show Tracks voted her best female artist, best Swedish artist, and artist of the year for 2004, and her Eurovision entry "Det gör ont" was voted best song.

She released her new album Jag ångrar ingenting in 2005. After just one day in Swedish shops it had sold over 30,000 copies. A one-hour TV special featuring new songs as well as old hits and some interviews with Philipsson aired in November the same year. In January 2006, Lena announced she was to host the 2006 Melodifestivalen. Because Melodifestivalen is a family show, her appearance as host was met with some controversy due to numerous jokes considered inappropriate to the audience.

She was known to frequently sew her own stage clothes in earlier years. She has stated that she no longer has the time.
