Terrance John Clark (1944 – 1983), better known as Terry Clark, also known as (aliases) Terry Sinclair, Alexander James Sinclair, Tony Bennetti, The Australian Jackal and Mr Big, was the head of the Mr Asiadrug syndicate which imported heroin into New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom in the 1970s. In fact, Terry Clark was the 'second' head man of the syndicate and became the lead having successfully plotted the murder of Marty Johnstone, the man who became known as "Mr Asia".

Born in Gisborne, New Zealand, Clark started his career through petty crimes and was well known to police as a local thug. His career expanded in the mid-70s after meeting Johnstone who at this stage was doing financially well importing "Buddha Sticks" into New Zealand from the east. Clark and Johnstone wanting to expand their market and money, started importing high quality white heroin into both New Zealand and Australia. This was about the time Clark moved to Australia to head the operation there. Their Asian partner based in Singapore was Choo Cheng Kui, better known as "Chinese Jack" or Jack Choo.

Clark was ruthless as controller of his operations and killed a number of associates including Gregory Ollard, a Mr Asia drug supplier and heroin addict. He lured Ollard to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park in the northern suburbs of Sydney, where he killed and buried him. After killing him, he drove to the home of Ollard's girlfriend in Avalon and abducted her. He then drove her to the Blue Mountains where he killed her.

Clark was well known for his womanising, and had a reputation for extreme violence. He met his first wife Sally in his early years and she was mother to his first three children. After his divorce from Sally, Clark entered into a relationship with heroin addict Norma Fleet, whom he married in Wi Tako Prison. Norma later died in mysterious circumstances. It was at this time he met his second wife, Maria Muhary with whom he fathered his fourth child, Jarrod. While in Australia, Clark became involved with Allison Raewyn Dine, a New Zealand kindergarten teacher from Rotorua who moved to Australia and met Clark. Dine became Clark's chief heroin courier and recruiter of other couriers, predominately other young women. Later at Clark's trial in the UK, Dine testified against Clark and was granted immunity from prosecution. After the trial, Dine reportedly went into a witness protection program and still lives in the UK under an assumed name.
