Philippe Dupuis (born April 24, 1985) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who currently plays for the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).
Dupuis was drafted 104th overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets from Hull Olympiques of the QMJHL.

After 5 years in the QMJHL, Dupuis made his professional debut in the 2006–07 season with the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL.
During the 2007–08 season on January 22, 2008, Dupuis was traded from the Blue Jackets, along with Darcy Campbell, to the Colorado Avalanche for Mark Rycroft. Dupuis was then sent to AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters, for the remainder of the year.
Dupuis received his first recall to the Avalanche in the 2008–09 season on December 11, 2008. He made his NHL debut in a 4-3 loss against the Chicago Blackhawks on December 13, 2008. In the 2009–10 season Dupuis was again assigned to Lake Erie posting 35 points in 68 contests.
