Gerald Francis Clifford (June 19, 1889 – February 24, 1952) was an American trial lawyer, politician, and executive officer of the Green Bay Packers.

In addition to his work in law and politics, he also served as an executive officer and team lawyer for the Green Bay Packers.

Gerald Francis Clifford was born in Chilton, Wisconsin, on June 19, 1889, but grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

[1] During his childhood, Clifford's father Jerry served as the mayor of Iron Mountain, Michigan, for period of time.

[5] He would remain associated with the Martin law firm for the rest of his career, serving as a senior partner at the time of his death.

He was one of the local Green Bay, Wisconsin, businessmen that Andrew B. Turnbull contacted to help raise money to keep the Packers afloat financially.

[10] His contributions over the next 20 years were so significant that he became recognized as one of The Hungry Five, a group of Green Bay businessmen who helped guide the early development of the Packers.

[14] Even though they succeeded in maintaining the ownership structure and preventing the Packers from moving to a different city,[15] both men resigned from the board of directors.

[1] Clifford was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1991 in recognition for his contributions as an executive for the team during its early years.
