Hilary Pit-a-pit Clapp (Bontoc: Pit-a-pit, lit. 'Igorot boy'; 1897 – April 1945) was a Filipino doctor and politician from Bontoc, Mountain Province, Philippines. He was an early convert of the Protestant American missions. He was one of the first Filipinos to arrive in Ontario, Canada. When he returned to the Philippines, he rose to prominence due to his education and connection to colonial officials. He became a doctor, the Igorot representative to the Philippine Commonwealth in the 1930s, and then the first Igorot governor of Mountain Province during the Japanese occupation.
