Gerald Stanley Clark MBE (9 May 1927 – June 1999) was a New Zealand sailor, writer and ornithologist. He is notable for his ornithological research work on subantarctic islands and for his circumnavigation of Antarctica in his self-built yacht ''Totorore''.〔Clark, Gerry. (2000).

==Early years==
Clark was born in Colchester, England, and educated at boarding school and later at the Thames Nautical Training College, then known as HMS ''Worcester''. In 1944, unable to join the Royal Navy because of a visual defect, he joined the British Merchant Navy, serving with the Union-Castle Line on the Liberty ship ''Samflora'', and completing his cadet training during a two-year cruise without home leave. Upon discharge from the ''Samflora'' he joined the Straits Steamship Company, based in Singapore, as a junior officer on small ships trading through the islands of South East Asia.〔O'Grady, Andrew. (2000). Gerry Clark – a biographical note. Pp.349–364 in "The Totorore Voyage", 3rd edition.〕
In 1951 Clark returned to England to attend the Warsash Maritime Centre at Southampton to sit for his Master's Certificate. While he was there he married Marjorie Ellen Bates who later joined him in Singapore where the couple had four daughters. There Clark was promoted first to Captain and then to Assistant Marine Superintendent of a fleet of fifty vessels.〔
