John H. Clark (born May 18 1849 in Galway, Ireland – July 26, 1922 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was an Irish-American boxer.

He was born in County Galway, but spent most of his childhood in England before moving to the United States. Clark was a clog and jig dancer before pursuing a career in prize-fighting. He was the Lightweight Champion of America for two streaks before losing to Arthur Chambers in 1879 following a 136 round bout. He owned a billiard hall and boxing school in Philadelphia.
