Clarence Eugene Faulk, Jr. (January 9, 1909 – March 5, 2010), was an American journalist who published from 1931 to 1962 the Ruston Daily Leader, the daily newspaper in Ruston in north Louisiana. Through the ownership of KRUS-AM radio, Faulk was a broadcaster. He was also engaged in real estate and a pioneer of self-storage warehousing, a business that he did not launch until after he was seventy years of age.
Faulk was born in West Monroe in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, to C. E. Faulk, Sr. (1878-1951), and the former Josephine McClendon (1882-1962), who are interred there at Hasley Cemetery. Clarence Faulk, Sr. published the Monroe News Star in Monroe, Louisiana, and was a founder and the president from 1934 to 1945 of Delta Air Lines. He was chairman of the Delta board from 1948 until his death in 1951. Faulk's brother, Robert McClendon Faulk (1917-1988) of Vero Beach, Florida, was a World War II veteran and a Delta Air Lines pilot. A sister, Eleanor Faulk Cone (died 1993) of Falls Church, Virginia, was a graduate of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and Tulane University School of Law in New Orleans
