Sir Alured Clarke GCB (24 November 1744 – 16 September 1832) was a British Army officer.
He went on to be Governor of Jamaica and then lieutenant-governor of Lower Canada in which role he had responsibility for implementing the Constitutional Act 1791.
[2] Promoted to major-general on 1 May 1790,[4] he acquitted himself well enough as Governor of Jamaica that he was recommended to King George III as a suitable person to become lieutenant-governor of Lower Canada in October 1790.
[2] Although Clarke was not present at the Siege of Seringapatam in April 1799, his army was victorious thereby successfully concluding the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War.
[9] In 1803 he appeared, alongside Vice-Admiral Nelson and Sir Evan Nepean, as a character witness in the treason trial of Colonel Edward Despard.
