Clarence George Issenmann (May 30, 1907 – July 27, 1982) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Cleveland from 1966 to 1974.
Clarence Issenmann was born in Hamilton, Ohio, as the only child of Innocent J. (a grocer) and Amelia L. (née Stricker) Issenmann. He worked as delivery boy and meat cutter for his father as young man, and attended St. Ann's School, Hamilton Catholic High School, St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Indiana, and then returned to Ohio to study at St. Gregory's and Mt. St. Mary of the West seminaries in Cincinnati.
Issenmann was ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop John McNicholas on June 29, 1932, and then continued his studies at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, from where he obtained his licentiate in philosophy, and at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome, earning a doctorate in theology. Upon his return to the United States, he earned his doctorate in journalism from Regis University in Denver, Colorado, and became editor of the archdiocesan newspaper of Cincinnati, the Catholic Telegraph Register, in 1938. He did pastoral work in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, of which he was chancellor and vicar general as well, and was raised to the rank of Monsignor in 1943.
