Iggy Clarke (born 1952 in Mullagh, County Galway) is an Irish former hurler who played for his local club Mullagh and at senior level for the Galway county team from 1972 until 1984. He is regarded as one of Galway's greatest-ever players. As a student at St Patrick's College, Maynooth, he played in the Fitzgibbon Cup. He came to prominence with the Galway minor team in the late 1960s, won an All-Ireland Under-21 Hurling Championship medal in 1972 and then made his senior debut. Galway won the National Hurling League in 1975, and Clarke was presented with his first All-Star award after the 1975 All-Ireland final defeat by Kilkenny. He won a second All-Star in 1978, lined out with Connacht in the inter-provincial competition and captured Railway Cup medals in 1980, 1982 and 1983.
