Clarence Forrest Burton (May 10, 1882 – December 2, 1933) was an American silent film actor.

Burton was born in Fort Lyon, in Benton County, Missouri and started in show business at the age of 5, playing stock and musical comedy in road productions.

By late 1920, Burton had become heavy enough to be considered unsuited for his typical villainous roles in films.

A trainer supervised a program of exercise and diet until Burton had lost enough weight to be cast in the Paramount film The Jacklins.
