Cornelia Tappan Clinton (1744-1800) was the daughter of Peter Tappan and Tjaatje (Charity) Wynkoop, and was the wife of United States Vice President George Clinton. She was related to the Livingstons of New York, and her marriage to Clinton in 1770 cemented his connection in the New York colonial legislative assembly to the "Livingston faction," an aristocratic but pro-Whig group.

Cornelia Tappan Clinton had one son and five daughters, one of whom married Citizen Genet in 1794.
