Clarence Parfitt (born 16 July 1944 in Bermuda) is a former Bermudian and Scottish cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman and left-arm medium pace bowler. He is reputed to be the greatest bowler that Bermuda has produced. He started his career in his native Bermuda, playing one first-class match against New Zealand in 1972, taking five wickets in New Zealand's only innings. It was the maiden first-class match to be played by the Bermuda cricket team.[1] He also represented Bermuda in the 1979 ICC Trophy.

He later settled in Scotland and would go on to play for the Scottish cricket team on twelve occasions, including nine List A matches, between 1988 and 1990, making his debut against Derbyshire. He is now a Development Officer for Cricket Scotland, and was inducted into Bermuda's sporting hall of fame in 2004.
