Clute is a Dispersed Rural Community and unincorporated place in the town of Cochrane, in Cochrane District, Ontario, Canada.[1][3] It is also the name of a geographic township in Cochrane District,[4][5] at the northeastern corner of which the community lies. An irregularly-shaped eastern part of the geographic township lies in the town of Cochrane following an amalgamation after 1996; the rest, the majority of the township, lies in the Unorganized North Part of Cochrane District.

The community is on Ontario Highway 579. A railway station, also in the town of Cochrane but in nearby geographic Blount Township[6] and on the Abitibi River, is served by Ontario Northland Railway Polar Bear Express passenger trains.
