Phoebe (Saturn IX) is a retrograde irregular satellite of Saturn and is the most massive irregular satellite of Saturn. It was discovered by William Henry Pickering on 18 March 1899, and was the first satellite discovered photographically.

Phoebe is named after a Titaness in Greek mythology.

It is responsible for the Phoebe Phoebe ring of Saturn.
