Harlond Benton "Darkie" Clift (August 12, 1912 – April 27, 1992) was a Major League Baseball (MLB) third baseman for the St. Louis Browns (1934–1943) and the Washington Senators (1943–1945).

He threw and batted right-handed, and was listed as 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and 180 pounds (82 kg).

While reaching to field a ball, Clift stepped on his own glove, which caused him to trip and roll forward.

[1] Clift batted over .300 twice (in 1936 and 1937) and scored 145 runs in 1936, the second highest total in the American League behind Lou Gehrig.

Clift was one of the first power-hitting third basemen, posting good offensive numbers at a time when players at that position were more valued for their fielding.
