Phoebe Buffay-Hannigan is a fictional character on the U.S. television sitcom Friends (1994–2004), portrayed by Lisa Kudrow. Kudrow received an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe nomination for her performance.

Her twin sister was Ursula Buffay, who first appeared on Mad About You.

Phoebe's religion is never directly stated, as her beliefs seem drawn from a wide variety of world religions. She believes in reincarnation, and that a priest could damn a soul for all eternity. She can see people's auras, and apparently can tidy them up if they are in disarray. She clearly remembers her own past lives, including those in which she worked as a battlefield nurse in the American Civil war (1860-1865), and another one in which she was also a nurse in the battlefields of France during World War One (1914-1918). She lost her left arm due to exploding artillery fire in both of these lives. In season 10 she prayed to Thor. Her Grandmother's cab had a sign that said, "Beam me up, Jesus", possibly left over from when her grandmother owned the cab. In the episodes The One with the Lesbian Wedding and The One with the Flashback she wears a cross necklace, although it is uncertain whether this is simply a fashion statement. When she is pregnant, she purchases a pair of "maternity pants" at a thrift store, apparently not recognizing them as part of a Santa Claus costume, even when she finds the note containing names of children "good" and "bad". However, even though she does not recognize the clothing, she does seem to believe in Santa, and is shocked when someone else expresses disbelief.

Phoebe Buffay is the younger twin daughter born to Phoebe 'fitton' Abbott (Teri Garr) and Frank Buffay on February 16, 1967; her twin sister, Ursula (Lisa Kudrow), was born one minute earlier. Frank was married to Abbott's best friend, Lily, at the time; Lily adopted Phoebe and Ursula. The sisters were unaware until adulthood that Lily was not their biological mother. Phoebe does not talk much about her early years except to note that she was from upstate New York, that her father abandoned the family when she was very young, and that Lily killed herself. She occasionally mentions Lily's strange behavior and methods of raising her children.

Phoebe Buffay has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
