Clarence H. "Du" Burns (September 13, 1918 – January 12, 2003) was a Democratic politician and mayor of Baltimore, Maryland in 1987.

Du Burns was first elected to the Baltimore City Council in 1971. In 1986, then-Mayor William Donald Schaefer resigned after being elected Governor of Maryland. As City Council president, Burns was elevated to mayor in January 1987, becoming the first black mayor in the city's history.

In 1991 a new arena on the waterfront near Canton was named for "Du" Burns.1
