Thomas Ernest Bennett "Tibby" Clarke (7 June 1907 - 11 February 1989) was a movie scriptwriter who wrote several of the Ealing Studios comedies. His scripts always feature careful logical development from a slightly absurd premise to a farcical conclusion. In 1952 he was awarded a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for his script for "The Lavender Hill Mob", making him one of just a handful of Britons to receive this award. He continued to work as a scriptwriter after Ealing ceased production in the mid-fifties, his later contributions including "Sons and Lovers" and the Disney film "The Horse without a Head".

Clarke was also a novelist and writer of non-fiction, and was not above presenting his fictions as fact - notably the 1981 book "Murder at Buckingham Palace", which purports to tell the story of a hushed-up murder in the Royal residence in 1935. Despite its including 'documentary' photographs, there is no external evidence that the book is anything but pure fiction.
