Thomas Benedict Clarke (December 11, 1848 – January 18, 1931) was an art collector from New York City.

He finished his education at his father's institution and started off as a businessman in linen and lace manufacturing, but also became a patron of American contemporary art.

He also began collecting porcelain, and donated some to Union League Club of New York while he was chairman of the art committee there.

The closest connection he had with the theater was through his son, who was briefly married to actress Elsie Ferguson.

Clarke was elected to the club in 1888 as a non-theatrical member; he joined the council almost immediately.
