Philip John Amelio II (November 3, 1977 – April 1, 2005) was an American actor and teacher. At age nine, he played Lucille Ball's grandson on the Life With Lucy series. Amelio died from an infection on April 1, 2005 in Schenectady, New York.

In addition to 1986's Life With Lucy, Amelio's career included a three year run (1988-1991) on the daytime soap opera, All My Children, and a long string of commercials. He started acting at age four, when he was cast for a Pepperidge Farm commercial. This led to campaigns for Ford Motors, All laundry detergent, and Shake 'N' Bake bread crumbs. Amelio was the first spokesperson for Jell-O Pudding Snacks.

Amelio officially retired from show business at age 13 and concentrated on being a "normal teenager" and student. His love of language and history led Amelio to study to be a teacher. He graduated from the University at Albany and received a Masters Degree in Education at The College of Saint Rose. For the last two years of his life, Amelio was employed at Duanesburg High School in Delanson, New York.
