Phanfone may refer to four tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. It is a Lao term for Animal.
- Typhoon Phanfone (2002) (T0213, 19W) – affected Japan
- Severe Tropical Storm Phanfone (2008) (T0810) – churned in the open ocean.

- Typhoon Phanfone (2019) (T1929, 30W, Ursula) – struck the Philippines resulting in at least 50 deaths and $67.2 million (2019 USD) in damages.
The name Phanfone was retired following the 2019 typhoon season and replaced with Nokaen, which means "swallow" in Laotian.
