Clive Puzey (b. July 11, 1941 in Bulawayo) is a former racing driver from Rhodesia. He began taking part in South African Formula One races in 1963 with a Lotus 18/21, finishing 7th in the Rand Grand Prix the following year.

Puzey's only World Championship Grand Prix attempt came when he entered the 1965 South African Grand Prix with his Lotus-Climax, but failed to pre-qualify. He was one of only four drivers to enter a World Championship Formula One race from the former republic of Rhodesia.

He continued to race in the South African Formula One Championship until 1969, scoring three podiums in 1966. After his racing career ended, Puzey ran a garage in his home town of Bulawayo until 2000, when it was attacked in the Zimbabwean uprising. Being a prominent anti-Robert Mugabe figure, he was repeatedly threatened until he left the country and moved to Australia.
