John Brown Clark (born 22 September 1964) is a Scottish former footballer who played for Dundee United, Stoke City, Falkirk, Dunfermline Athletic, Ross County, Ayr United and Berwick Rangers. He scored for the club in the 1987 UEFA Cup Final, but was unable to prevent their defeat to IFK Göteborg of Sweden in that game.
Clark was born in Edinburgh and joined Dundee United in 1976 and began to play for the reserves as a forward where he scored over 100 goals. He made his debut in the 1982–83 and the 1986–87 season, Clark was covering for Paul Hegarty at centre half for a good part of the season, earning a starting role for much of the UEFA Cup run, and scored four goals on the way to the 1987 UEFA Cup Final, including the decisive header in the Camp Nou and his strike in the final at Tannadice as Dundee United lost 2–1 to Swedish side IFK Göteborg. Clark remained a regular in the Tannadice defence for the last 1980s and early 1990s and after making 330 appearances for Dundee United scoring 37 goals he moved on English club Stoke City in January 1994.
