Philip Hipkins Clarke (born 23 January 1942) is a former New Zealand rugby union player. A wing, Clarke represented Canterbury and Marlborough at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1967 tour of Britain, France and Canada. He played four matches for the All Blacks on that tour, but did not appear in any of the internationals.[1]

Clarke later coached the Opawa club in Blenheim, and his son, Ben, played representative rugby for Marlborough.[1]
