Sclater's lark (Spizocorys sclateri) is a species of lark in the Alaudidae family. It is found in Namibia and South Africa. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The common name and the Latin binomial commemorate the British zoologist Philip Lutley Sclater.
