'''Joseph Charles Philpot''' (1802 - 1869) was a British [[Anglicanism|Anglican]] priest who later a prominent [[Gospel Standard Strict Baptists|Gospel Standard Strict Baptist]] [[Pastoring|pastor]] and a disciple of [[William Gadsby]].

As a young man, he attended Oxford University, where he studied Classics. After leaving in 1825, he moved to Ireland to tutor the sons of a prominent Lawyer who was the brother in the law to [[John Nelson Darby]], a leader of the [[Plymouth Brethren]].

After leaving Ireland, he began to preach in two parishes in Oxfordshire, drawing in large crowds to hear his sermons. He befriended a fellow [[Church of England]] priest named [[William Tiptaft]] and the two studied theology together often. As they studied, they grew disillusioned with the works-based faith of the Anglican Church and began to favour [[Calvinism]]. Tiptaft left the Church of England to found a [[Reformed Baptist]] church in Abingdon. Philpot reluctantly followed suit in 1835, being [[Re-baptism|re-baptized]] by [[John Warburton]], a [[Strict Baptists|Strict Baptist]] pastor at [[Trowbridge]].

He became a follower of William Gadsby, despite opposing Gadsby's social teachings, and became the Pastor of churches in Stamford and Oakham where he preached alternate Sundays.

After resigning from his pastorates, he moved to Thornton Heath in Surrey and died there in December 1869.
