Edward Mann Clark (12 April 1854 – 30 May 1933), often referred to as E. M. Clark, was an Australian politician. He was a North Sydney alderman for many years and served six terms as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in North Shore electorates. He was counted amongst the thirty-five Labor Electoral League members elected to parliament in 1891, but for most of his political career, Clark was identified with free trade fiscal beliefs, mostly as an independent and occasionally representing the Free Trade Party.
