In its most commonly encountered from "white" phsphorus (where there are individual P4 molecules) is not a good conductor.

This is also true for the red, and violet allotropic forms, which have a different structure.

The black allotropic form has a metallic appearance but is still a poor conductor but is slightly better than the others, one reference describes it as a semiconductor at high temperatures.
