Mark Wayne Clark (May 1, 1896 - April 17, 1984) was an American general during World War II and the Korean War and was the youngest lieutenant (three-star) general in the U.S. Army. He had a distinguished career in World War II and is primarily linked to Operation Torch (the invasion of French North Africa) and the campaign in Italy.

During World War I, he led a company of soldiers in 1917 and was seriously wounded by shrapnel. After the war, Clarks outstanding abilities were noticed by General George Marshall.

During World War II, he was the Allied Commander in Italy. He is known for ordering the destruction of the abbey at Monte Cassino, and his subsequent triumphal entry into Rome in 1944. Clark became the youngest American to be promoted to general in 1945.

Both Winston Churchill and General Dwight D. Eisenhower, considered him a brilliant staff officer and trainer. Clark won many awards, including the Distinguished Service Cross, the medal for extreme bravery in war, second only to the Medal of Honor.
