A clapper stick (also clap-stick or split stick rattle) is a traditional idiophone common among the indigenous peoples of California.

It is traditionally constructed by cutting the branch of an elderberry tree, hollowing it out, and partially splitting the branch in two.

Many are now made of bamboo, which do not require hollowing.
