Clifford Birks (born December 13, 1910 in Hanley, Staffordshire, died in 1998) was an English professional footballer. He played as both a right-half and at outside-right

Birks played for Stoke St. Peters before joining Port Vale where he made his league debut in the 1932-33 season. He played over 50 times for Vale before joining Torquay United in 1936. Kept out of the side due to the form of Fred Beedall and George Daniels, Birks made his Torquay debut on January 16, 1937, scoring in the 4-1 defeat at home to Southend United.

However, this was to be his only appearance for Torquay and he left to join Halifax Town for the following season. He played just twice for Halifax before leaving league football.

Birks died in 1998.
