Clayman is the fifth album by Swedish melodic death metal band, In Flames. The album was released by Nuclear Blast in 2000. Most of the lyrics deal with depression and internal struggles. The album's cover art is based on Leonardo da Vinci's drawing, the Vitruvian Man.

The Jesterhead appears in the background, both on the cover, and in the album booklet itself. Music videos were made for Pinball Map and Only for the Weak, with Metal Hammer naming the latter its top 10 death metal song.
