Arthur Clarence "Clem" Hawke (5 March 1898 – 23 December 1989) was the General Secretary of the Australian Labor Party in South Australia 1919–1920, and a Congregationalist minister.

He trained for the ministry at Brighton under Dr. William George Torr and served as Methodist home missionary at Forster in the South Australian Riverland, Port Neill and Kalangadoo.

He was posted to New Zealand from 1923[1] and spent several years there before returning to South Australia, when he served at Renmark, then Bordertown from 1928 to 1935, living in the manse on Farquhar Street.

Two years later he died of a stroke at the Resthaven nursing home in the Adelaide suburb of Malvern, having suffered deteriorating health for several weeks.

Bob Hawke, who was particularly close to his father, said on the Channel 9 program A Current Affair, "He's passed on to me the fundamental beliefs I have, and that is: we are in this world not just to advance our own interests but we owe an obligation to our fellow human beings".
