Clinton John Whitelaw (born 24 December 1970) is a South African professional golfer.

Whitelaw has competed predominantly on the Southern Africa-based Sunshine Tour since then, where he has won three tournaments, including the 1993 Philips South African Open.

Whitelaw played on the European Tour the late 1990s, having won his card at the qualifying school at the end of 1996.

However he was unable to repeat that performance in the following seasons due to a recurring lumbar spine injury.

In 2000, Whitelaw effectively retired from tournament golf, playing only a few events on the Sunshine Tour each year through 2011.
