The Clepsydra Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Clepsydra plays nearly coninuously to heights of 45 feet (13.7 m)[1]. It was named for the Greek word for water clock. Prior to the 1959 Hebgen earthquake, it used to erupt regularly every three minutes.[2]
