Clementine is a major character in the The Walking Dead episodic adventure video game series, a spin-off of the Robert Kirkman comic of the same name by Telltale Games. She is non-playable in the first season, turned only playable protagonist in the second and the secondary playable protagonist in the third, alongside Javier. She is voiced by Melissa Hutchison and was written by several people, including Gary Whitta. Given her extensive role in all three seasons Clementine is the assumed protagonist of the game series.

Clementine is a young 8-year-old girl living with her parents in an Atlanta suburb. While her parents were away in Savannah, she was forced to join a group of survivors in an effort to find safety in midst of a zombie apocalypse. Through the plot, Clementine develops a strong bond with the player-protagonist Lee Everett, a former fugitive who becomes her new guardian, she also developed bonds with Kenny and Jane, and becomes the surrogate mother of Alvin Jr, after his parents are killed. Being one of the first elements created for the game, Clementine was designed to act as a moral compass for the player in addition to an influence on the player's decisions, to which the player would have to reflect upon.

In series 2 Clementine becomes the central character, and the game follows her adventures with a new group of survivors. This series has several endings, some that include her ending up in a place called Wellington with Kenny and a young boy called Alvin Jr, to returning to Howe's Hardware with Jane and even leaving both behind to take care of AJ on her own.

Clementine was considered an emotional centerpiece of the The Walking Dead game, and several journalists expressed caring for her fate in a way that few other games have been able to capture.
