Walter Ernest Clark (died March 26, 1987) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal-Progressive from 1955 to 1958.
Clark was elected to the Manitoba legislature in a by-election, called in the constituency of Mountain following the resignation of high-profile cabinet minister Ivan Schultz. He defeated Progressive Conservative Marcel Boulic by 276 votes, and served as a backbench supporter of Douglas Campbell's government.
The Liberal-Progressives were defeated in the 1958 provincial election, and Clark lost to Progressive Conservative Abram Harrison by 238 votes in the redistributed constituency of Rock Lake. He tried to return to the legislature in the 1959 election, but lost to Harrison by an increased margin.
