Earl Clark (born January 17, 1988) is a forward for the University of Louisville men's basketball team.

Clark attended Rahway High School in Rahway, New Jersey. There, he scored 1,245 career points. As a senior, he averaged 25.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and five assists per game. [ [http://uoflsports.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/clark_earl00.html Earl Clark] , CSTV. Accessed January 2, 2008.]

As a freshman along with Derrick Caracter, Edgar Sosa, and Jerry Smith, the young group struggled early in the 2006-07 season. The team went on to win 8 out of its last 10 games, earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament.

In the first game of the 2007 NCAA Tournament, he scored 12 points, four rebounds and four steals against Stanford.

Clark decided not to put his name in the 2008 NBA Draft and return to the University of Louisville. He is projected to be the #8 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.
