Christopher Stephen Clark (born 29 August 1979) is an English electronic musician, producer and composer, known professionally as Clark. He initially released music as Chris Clark on Warp Records from 2001, shortening his artist name to Clark in 2006. His work spans electronic, ambient, contemporary classical and experimental genres, and has been released on Warp, Deutsche Grammophon and his own label Throttle Records.

Over a career spanning more than twenty years, Clark has received critical acclaim for his studio albums. Body Riddle (2006) was awarded 8.5 out of 10 by Pitchfork, and his album Clark (2014) received Pitchfork's Best New Music designation. His tenth album, Sus Dog (2023), was executive-produced by Thom Yorke, who contributed vocals and bass to the record; it was named Album of the Year by Bleep. Clark has a longstanding creative collaboration with choreographer Melanie Lane.

From 2015, Clark has also worked extensively as a screen composer. He scored The Last Panthers (Sky Atlantic/Canal+, 2015), the BAFTA-nominated series Kiri (Channel 4, 2018) and Lisey's Story (Apple TV+, 2021), directed by Pablo Larraín. His album Playground in a Lake (2021), recorded with orchestral ensembles in Budapest and Berlin and released on Deutsche Grammophon, marked a crossover into contemporary classical music. Clark continues to release music on his own Throttle Records label.
