Clark Gordon Gilbert (born June 18, 1970) is an American religious leader and academic who is a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He was ordained an apostle on February 12, 2026, filling a vacancy created by the death of Jeffrey R. Holland. He has been a church general authority since April 2021 and has been serving as the church commissioner of education since August of that same year. As a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, Gilbert is accepted by the church as a prophet, seer, and revelator. Currently, he is the junior and fifteenth most senior apostle in the church.
He was the president of BYU–Pathway Worldwide (BYU–PW), an online higher education organization, from its creation in 2017 until August 2021. He was serving as the sixteenth president of Brigham Young University–Idaho (BYU–Idaho) when he was appointed inaugural president of BYU–PW.
Previously, Gilbert served as president and CEO of both the Deseret News and Deseret Digital Media, having also served as an executive vice president of Deseret Management Corporation (DMC), a professor at Harvard Business School (HBS), and as an associate academic vice president at BYU–Idaho.
