David Graham Clark (born January 27, 1919) is a former English cricketer and cricket administrator.
Clark was born in Barming, Kent. He played first-class cricket for five years, appearing for Kent. He was Kent's captain for the last three years of his career. He retired at the end of the 1951 season.
He is likely to be best remembered for chairing the committee set up in 1965 to "examine the future of county cricket in the widest possible terms and if thought fit to recommend alterations in the structure and playing conditions of the County Championship". However the first-class counties rejected most of the recommendations made in the so-called "Clark Report".[1]
