Wiley Gulick Clarkson (November 28, 1885—May 5, 1952) was an American architect, active in Texas.

Clarkson was born on November 28, 1885, in Corsicana, Texas. He received his architectural training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After practicing for a few years in Corsicana, Clarkson set up shop in 1912 in Fort Worth. He would remain one of the most prominent architects in Cowtown through the 1950s, where his Classical, Gothic, Italianate, and Beaux Arts buildings still stand.
