Claire Gordon or Clare Gordon (fl. 1950 - 1980) is a British actress known for leading and cameo roles in many British movies, mainly in the '60s and '70s, as well as for working with most television and comedy stars of that time.

She made her West End theatre debut on a motor bike in The Darling Buds of May and then created the role of Peggy Evans in Neil Simon's Come Blow Your Horn. She later made theatrical history as the first actress to appear naked on stage in The Three Musketeers, playing Lady De Winter. The New Statesman wrote, "watch out for the bath scene; it's a breakthrough."

Most recently, she played the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella at the Princes Theatre, Hunstanton and is currently working on her memoirs.

She was married to the roue William Donaldson.
