Clyde Raymond Barfoot (July 8, 1891 – March 11, 1971), nicknamed "Foots", was an American baseball player. He played professional baseball as a right-handed pitcher 25 years from 1914 to 1938, including three seasons in Major League Baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals (1922–1923) and Detroit Tigers (1926).

Barfoot was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1891.

Barfoot began his professional baseball career playing in the minor leagues for the Chattanooga Lookouts (1914), Galveston Pirates (1914–1917), San Antonio Bronchos (1917–1920), Newark Bears (1918), Columbus Senators (1918), New Orleans Pelicans (1920), and Houston Buffaloes (1921).

After compiling a 22-13 record with Houston in 1922, he got a shot at playing in the major leagues. He made his major league debut with the St. Louis Cardinals on April 13, 1922 at age 30. He appeared in 42 games for the 1922 St. Louis Cardinals team, 40 of those as a relief pitcher. He compiled a 4-5 win–loss record with a 4.21 earned run average (ERA). He led the National League in 1922 with six saves and 25 games finished. He continued with the Cardinals in 1923, compiling a 3-3 record with a 3.73 ERA in 31 relief appearances and two starts.

After his two years in the majors, Barfoot returned to the minors, playing for the Houston Buffaloes in 1924 and compiling a 19-12 record. In 1925, he moved to the Pacific Coast League where he compiled a career best 26-15 record with the Vernon Tigers.
