Clark John Masters (born 31 May 1987) is an English football goalkeeper. He last played for Tonbridge Angels in 2014.
Starting his career with Brentford in 2004, he moved on to Southend United four years later, and Aldershot Town in 2009. He has had several loan spells at non-league clubs.
As a youngster, Masters attended William Parker School in Hastings the same school that produced England midfielder Gareth Barry.
After a youth career with Brighton & Hove Albion and Gillingham, Masters started his senior career with Brentford. In 2005 and 2006 he had loan spells with non-league clubs Redbridge and Slough Town. He signed professional forms with Brentford in June 2006.
He made his Brentford debut against Blackpool in the first game of the 2006–07 season, stepping in for Stuart Nelson, who was suspended. On his third appearance, a 2–2 draw with Gillingham on 21 October, he was sent off for "denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity". Though the club successfully appealed the suspension. Rumours circulated that the young keeper would be signed up by Premier League side Arsenal. In March 2007, Masters joined AFC Wimbledon in a one-month loan deal. He played five games for the Dons, keeping two clean sheets, before being recalled by Brentford.
