The Ven. Liscombe Clarke (24 August 1784 – 17 April 1841) was an Anglican priest. He served as Archdeacon of Sarum from 1827–36. He was also the incumbent at Downton and Biddestone, both in Wiltshire.[1]

Clarke was born in London, the son of Christopher Clarke of Lothbury. He was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford. He was a fellow of New College from 1806–15. He earned his B.A. in 1808 and M.A. 1812.[2][1]

Clarke apparently died in his sleep at the vicarage in Downton, where he was found dead on 17 April 1841. He had shown no signs of illness.[3]
