Brian Robert Clark (3 June 1932 – 16 November 2021) was a British playwright and screenwriter, best known for his play Whose Life Is It Anyway?, which he later adapted into a screenplay. Clark was born on 3 June 1932 in Bristol, United Kingdom, the son of a blacksmith. Clark was educated at the University of Nottingham. He married Maggie Clark, his first wife, and raised two sons. Clark taught in schools, colleges and universities and was a member of the Drama Department at the University of Hull from 1968 to 1972.

In 1970, he sold a television play, Rubber? Some years after its television production, he adapted the script for the stage. The reworked version won a Society of West End Theaters Award in 1978. Later that year, he brought the play to the United States, first at the Folger in Washington, D.C., followed by its Broadway debut the following year. In 1975 he wrote Whose Life is it Anyway a play exploring the theme of assisted suicide. Clark subsequently adapted the piece into a film released in 1981. He wrote other television plays including Easy Go, Operation Magic Carpet, The Saturday Party, and The Country Party. Clark wrote the first episode of All Creatures Great and Small (1978). The television series Telford's Change (1979), concerns an international banker downsizing to being a branch manager, the central role being performed by Peter Barkworth.
