Clarence Clifton "Cliff" Young (November 7, 1922 – April 3, 2016), known as C. Clifton Young, was a United States congressman from Nevada.

A Republican, Young was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from the state's at-large district in 1952 and re-elected in 1954. He won the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in 1956 but was defeated by incumbent Democrat Alan Bible in a close race.

Young later served in the Nevada Senate, from 1966 to 1980, and on the Nevada Supreme Court from 1985 to 2002, including a stint as chief justice (1989–1990). He also served as president of the National Wildlife Federation (1981–1983). Young died in Reno, Nevada in 2016 at the age of 93. He was the last living former U.S. representative who left office in the 1950s.

In 1988, the Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Reno, Nevada was renamed for Young.
