Beverly A. Clarno (born March 29, 1936) is a Republican politician in the U.S. state of Oregon serving as the Oregon Secretary of State.

Clarno became Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives in 1995, succeeding Larry Campbell.[1] She served in the House from 1989 to 1996 (through the 1995 session). She did not seek reelection to the House, choosing instead to run for Oregon State Treasurer in 1996, but was defeated by incumbent Democrat Jim Hill.[2]

In 2000, she was elected to the Oregon State Senate,[3] where she served from 2001 to 2003. She resigned on August 1, 2003,[4] to take a position with the George W. Bush administration, as a regional representative for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.[5][6]

Clarno was appointed Secretary of State to finish the term of Dennis Richardson following his death in 2019.[7][8][9]

Clarno was born in Langlois, Oregon.[10]
