Clinton Gutherson (born 9 September 1994) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who captains and plays fullback for the Parramatta Eels in the National Rugby League (NRL).

He previously played for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in the NRL, and has played for New South Wales, City Origin side and the Prime Minister's XIII. Gutherson is affectionately known as "King Gutho" or simply "The King" by fans and by sections of the media.

The nickname was coined by rugby league immortal Andrew Johns who referred to Gutherson as "King Gutho" or the "King of Parramatta" while he was commentating on games for Channel 9 back in 2017.[3][4][5] He played as a five-eighth, winger and centre earlier in his career.
