Sagalovsky (Sagalowsky) Filipp Salamonovich (25 December 1918, Kremenchug) — physician.

In 1941 Filipp Sagalovsky graduated from the Dnepropetrovsk State Medical Institute with a degree in general medicine. From 1943 he was a member of the CPSU and of a trade union.

He worked at the 3rd Riga City Polyclinic. From 1959 to 1967 he served as Deputy Chief Physician for Medical Affairs at the 2nd Riga City Hospital, and from 1967 as its Chief Physician.

A participant in the Second World War and a veteran, he was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Victory.

In 1976 he took first place, and in 1977 second place, in the annual competition of medical institutions. He led a theoretical seminar at the hospital devoted to the study of philosophical problems in medicine and biology.

In 1970 he received a commendation from the Riga Civil Defense Medical Service for the timely and high-quality training of personnel and medical workers in providing medical care in situations of mass casualties (1969–1970 academic year). In 1972 he was awarded an honorary certificate from the Lenin District Committee of the Communist Party of Latvia.

On 16 February 1980, due to deteriorating health, he was transferred to the position of medical statistician at the 2nd Riga City Hospital. On 1 April 1987, he resigned in connection with emigration abroad.

His wife was Esfira; his son was the physician Boris Sagalovsky.
