Joe Clark (b. 5 June 1939) is a Canadian politician who served as the 16th Prime Minister of Canada, from 1979 - 1980.

Clark rose to the office as the leader of a minority government, but lost a non-confidence vote six months later. Clark lost the subsequent general election and served as Leader of the Official Opposition to Pierre Elliott Trudeau's Liberals, until he lost the Progressive Conservative leadership convention to Brian Mulroney.

After John Turner's general election loss, Clark served in Mulroney's cabinet as secretary of state for external affairs, where he led resistance against South Africa's Apartheid system.

Clark took back the reins of the Progressive Conservatives in 1998, and led it until 2003.
