Mitchell Eric Claydon (born 25 November 1982,^[1] Fairfield, New South Wales) is an Australian-born English first-class cricketer. He holds a British passport. Claydon is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler. Claydon signed for Yorkshire in 2005.^[1]

Claydon's debut match came as a tailender batsman for a Yorkshire Second XI against a combined Kent and Middlesex XI. Though neither team were victorious, Claydon proved himself economical with the ball. He later played for the team during a Bangladeshi tour of 2005, which saw a Bangladesh A them play against eight first-class counties.

Claydon made his County Championship debut in April of the following year. The match was a rain-affected draw, and Claydon's contribution was neglibile. He made more of an impact in a later County Championship game against Durham in which, batting at number ten and scoring 38, he shared a partnership of 80 with centurion Anthony McGrath. Claydon remained within the Yorkshire Second XI during the early stages of the 2006 Second XI Championship, but was released at the end of that season.^[1]

Following his release from Yorkshire, he signed for Durham in time for the beginning of the 2007 season.
