Augustus Gilbert Finnis Clark (31 July 1862 – 7 May 1928) was an English cricketer. Clark was a left-handed batsman who bowled left-arm medium pace. He was born at Dover, Kent.

Clark made a single first-class appearance for Sussex against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1886.[1] Clark batted at number ten in Sussex's first-innings and was dismissed for a single run by Jimmy Wootton. In their second-innings he batted at number four and was dismissed by the same bowler for a duck, with Sussex winning the match by 59 runs.[2] This was his only major appearance for Sussex.

He died at Hastings, Sussex on 7 May 1928, gassing himself in his house.[3]
