Cliff Warren (born March 8, 1968) is an American college basketball coach, currently an assistant at the University of Maryland.
Born in Silver Spring, Maryland, Warren played collegiately at Mount St. Mary's University from 1986 to 1990. Warren was a two-year starter for the Mountaineers, where he finished his career ranked in the top five in assists and top 50 in scoring in the school record book. As a senior in 1989-90, he averaged 10.4 points and 5.0 assists per game, while leading The Mount to its first winning season at the Division I level.
Warren returned to his alma mater in 1994 to take his first coaching job as an assistant under Jim Phelan.
Warren then served from 1997 to 2000 as an assistant at Siena under Paul Hewitt. Warren spent five years under Paul Hewitt at Georgia Tech. Warren was a part of the coaching staff that led the Yellow Jackets to the 2004 national championship game, losing to UConn.
Warren was hired as head basketball coach at Jacksonville University in 2005, following the retirement of legendary coach Hugh Durham.
Warren's first year at Jacksonville saw the Dolphins finish the season with only eight healthy players. They struggled to a 1–26 record, the worst performance in school history. In Warren’s second year, the Dolphins pulled off the biggest turnaround in the country – improving from one win to a 15-14 record and a third-place finish in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
The Dolphins reached the finals of the 2008 Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball Tournament, losing to Belmont.
