David E. Clarke (born 31 December 1952) is a former Australian rules footballer with Victorian Football League (VFL) clubs Geelong and Carlton. Better known as a half-forward flanker Clarke also played in the centre and centre half-back.
Clarke won Geelong's Best and Fairest three times and was runner-up four times.
