Sir Robert Clarke, 2nd Baronet

Sir Robert Clarke, 2nd Baronet (1683 – November 1746) was a British politician and lawyer.

He was the older son of Sir Samuel Clarke, 1st Baronet and his wife Mary Thompson, daughter of Robert Thompson. In 1719, he succeeded his father as baronet. He was called to the bar by Gray's Inn in 1701. Clarke entered the British House of Commons in 1717, sitting as Member of Parliament (MP) for Cambridgeshire until 1722.

Clarke married Mary Barnardiston, only daughter of Arthur Barnardiston, and had by her ten children. Clarke died in 1746 and was succeeded in the baronetcy successively by his sons Samuel and Robert. After the death of his last surviving son Arthur, the sixth baronet, the title became extinct.
