Philip R. Rosendahl (1893–1974) was the acting governor of the Danish colony of North Greenland from 1925 to 1928 and the governor from 1929 to 1939. A journalist by trade, he moved to Greenland in 1913, and began a lifelong career in the politics of the territory. From 1939 to 1950 he served as secretary, and helped reform the administration once north and south were combined.[1][2]
