Gerald Clark (born November 29, 1952) is a Republican politician. Clark represented District 29C of the Maryland House of Delegates from when he was appointed to the position on October 13, 2016, to January 11, 2023.
From 2002 to 2014, Clark served on the Calvert County Board of Commissioners. Since 2016, he has been a member of the Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland.
In 2014, Port of Call Liquors was cited for violations of the law prohibiting the sale of alcohol to minors. The Calvert County Liquor Board imposed Clark's business with a five day suspension, 30 days of abeyance, and a $1,000 fine.
Clark was sworn into the Maryland House of Delegates on October 13, 2016.
Clark filed to run in the 2018 election. He was unopposed in the Republican primary, but faced Democratic candidate Julia Nichols in the general election. During the election, Clark endorsed Jack Bailey in his race for Maryland State Senate District 29. He won with 57% of the vote.
