Clarence Shirley Woolmer (Born June 27, 1910 in Lewisham, London, England) is a former English cricketer. He was captain of United Provinces (now Uttar Pradesh) during the Ranji Trophy in 1948-1949 against Bombay State (Maharashtra).

His son Bob Woolmer (born in Kanpur) was a cricketer for England as well as a coach of South Africa and Pakistan. When Bob was born, Clarence placed bat and ball in Bob's cot hoping that he would eventually become a cricketer.
