The Fox and Pheasant is a pub at 1 Billing Road, Chelsea, London SW10 9UJ. The Fox and Pheasant Public House was built c.1846-8 on land acquired by Edward Gingell from William Allen.

It was originally called the Bedford Arms, then the Prince of Wales ten years later, and in 1965 it was renamed the Fox & Pheasant. It was fully refitted in about 1930, and that interior remains largely unchanged today.It is on Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors and is part of the Billings conservation area.
