Clarence Evans Kilburn (April 13, 1893May 20, 1975) was a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from New York.

Kilburn was born in Malone, New York. He graduated from Cornell University in 1916. He served in the Twenty-Sixth Infantry, First Division during World War I. He was elected to Congress in 1940 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Wallace E. Pierce and served from February 13, 1940 until January 3, 1965.

During his years in Congress, Kilburn was one of the more conservative members of the New York Republican delegation, but was liberal on the issue of foreign aid, like most members of the New York delegation. He is particularly notable for being the only member of the New York Congressional delegation to vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
