Brian Clark (born September 3, 1964) was a Zimbabwean cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a leg-break bowler who played for Matabeleland. He was born in Bulawayo.
Clark made three appearances in the Logan Cup competition of 1993-94, scoring a half century in his debut innings. His second first-class match was slightly more successful still, as he scored a career-best 56 runs in an innings victory, in which he partnered four-time Test cricketer Wayne James to James' highest first-class score of 215 runs.
Clarke was an upper-middle order batsman and an occasional bowler, though he failed to secure a single wicket in 18 overs of bowling.

Brian Clark (born 1 March 1988 in Dundee) is a Scottish footballer, or soccer-player, who plays as a midfielder.
He started his career with Dundee, but was released in 2008, after making less than 10 league appearances, and scoring one goal. He was loaned out to Arbroath in the first part of the 2007–08 season. After his release by Dundee, Clark appeared for Montrose as a trialist in a friendly match during July 2008 against Dundee. Clark eventually signed for junior side Carnoustie Panmure.
Brian Clark (born 1947) is a Canadian survivor of the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Clark worked for the American international brokerage firm Euro Brokers, which lost 61 employees that day, nearly one-fifth of its New York branch.
Clark was one of only four people in the South Tower to escape from a floor above the plane's impact, escaping from his office on the 84th floor. No one escaped above the impact point in the North Tower. Clark's testimony before the 9/11 Commission, where he detailed problems with the 911 emergency call system, has been widely quoted.
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Clark became a volunteer Fire Warden for his floor and was issued a whistle, a reflective vest, and a flashlight by World Trade Center security. On September 11, 2001, when Clark saw a giant fireball in his peripheral vision, coming from the adjacent North Tower at 8:46 a.m., he quickly picked up his issued gear and began evacuation procedures for the staff on his floor of the South Tower. Clark went to his company's trading floor, which stood at the east side of his tower. When he arrived, he saw his co-workers peering out the windows, watching people jump to their death from the adjacent tower. One of Clark's co-workers screamed as she witnessed this and turned away, overwhelmed by the horrific sight. She sought comfort in Clark's arms. He took her to the women's restroom so she could regain her composure. Clark would later credit this act with saving his own life, because it took him away from the east side of his building. At 9:03 a.m., United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the south side of his tower, only a few floors below the spot on the trading floor where Clark had been standing only moments before.
