Thomas Charles Agar-Robartes, 6th Viscount Clifden (1 January 1844-19 July 1930), styled the Lord Robartes from 1882 to 1899, was a British Liberal politician.
Clifden was the son of Thomas Agar-Robartes, 1st Baron Robartes, and was educated at Harrow and Christ Church, Oxford. He was called to the Bar, Middle Temple, in 1870. In 1880 he was returned to Parliament as one of two representatives for Cornwall East, a seat he held until 1882, when he succeeded his father in the barony and entered the House of Lords. In September 1899 he also succeeded his kinsman as sixth Viscount Clifden. He later served as Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire from 1906 to 1915.
Lord Clifden married Mary, daughter of Francis Henry Dickenson, in 1878. They had three sons and one daughter. Their eldest son Thomas Agar-Robartes was also a Liberal politician but was killed in the First World War. Lady Clifden died in January 1921. Lord Clifden survived her by nine years and died in July 1930, aged 86. He was succeeded in his titles by his second but eldest surviving son Francis.
