St Clement (Jèrriais: Saint Cliément) is one of the twelve parishes of Jersey in the Channel Islands.

Located on the south-east coast of the island, stretching from Le Dicq in the west to near La Rocque in the east, it is the smallest parish, with a surface area of just 2,440 vergées (4 km2).

The parish is also home to a number of sports facilities, such as FB Fields and St Clement's Golf Club.

[2] Samarès, its namesake manor, and now the name of a district of and a suburb located in St Clement, is a surname that is a corruption of the phrase "Salt marsh".

[2] Much of the parish lies below equinoctial high-tide level and was frequently flooded before Le Dicq was built to try to hold back the sea somewhat.

There are remains of a submerged forest underneath the sand at Grève d'Azette that show how the parish has reduced in size as the sea has advanced.

Today there is relatively little open green space (with the exception of the golf and football fields) west of Samarès Lane into St Helier.

[4] Lindsay Ash, who is Assistant Treasury Minister, faced criticism in 2021 over a tweet mocking Oprah Winfrey's appearance following her interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

[5] Under the proposed electoral reform, St Clement will form a single constituency, electing four representatives alongside its Connétable.

The whole rocky inter-tidal zone that stretches along St Clement's coast is part of a Ramsar site of special significance.

[7] The dolmen at Mont Ubé (off La Blinerie) is believed to have been left there by a pre-Celtic race called the Iberians, in around 3,000 B.C.

The name Samarès is an old French word meaning salt-marsh, and much of the low lying surrounding areas are or were coastal marshes.

Le Hocq Tower was built in 1778 as a coastal defence against the French when they sided with the American colonies against the British.

As part of the scheme, a number of new cycle paths have opened in the parish, such as near Le Rocquier School,[11] and a modal filter was introduced on Rue de Maupertuis.

FB Playing Fields is a large outdoor sports centre located on the St Clement's Inner Road.

The famous French writer Victor Hugo lived in Marina Terrace, St Clement for some time, and it was here that he wrote his collection of poems entitled Les Châtiments.

It was the Connétable of St Clement at the time who escorted Hugo onto a steamer bound for Guernsey when he had insulted the British Royal Family in some of his letters.
