Calvin Nelson Clyde III (November 1, 1945 – August 29, 2007), was the fourth-generation publisher of the Tyler Morning Telegraph newspaper in Tyler. The business, established by Clyde's great-grandfather, has been family operated since 1910.

Clyde was born in Tyler to Calvin N. Clyde Jr. (1921–2013), and the former Patsy Elizabeth Kittrell (1921–2012). He attended public schools and graduated in 1963 from Robert E. Lee High School in Tyler. He procured a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and journalism in 1966 from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. He was employed by the Amarillo Globe-News from 1966 to 1968, when he joined the staff of the La Porte-Baytown Sun near Houston.

In 1969, Clyde returned to Tyler and worked in circulation, advertising, production, and purchasing for The Morning Telegraph. On July 20, 1980, he was named editor of the paper, a position that he held until December 18, 1990, when he was elevated to publisher.

Over the years, Clyde won many honors, including the 2002 Martin Luther King Award for Non-Violent Change from the Tyler Ministerial Alliance. In 2005, the Morning Telegraph won the Texas Family Business of the Year Award from Baylor University in Waco. Clyde was also a past member and director of the Texas Daily Newspaper Association. In 2006, he received th TDNA's Frank W. Mayborn Award for Community Leadership. The award, named for the late publisher of the Temple Daily Telegram, is given to a publisher or newspaper executive whose contributions to society and leadership in the community have impacted the newspaper business.
