Francis Seath Clifford was an English cricketer who played for Kent County Cricket Club between 1849 and 1860. He was born in Bearsted in Kent and made his first-class cricket debut for the county in 1849 against Yorkshire at Hyde Park in Sheffield.
Clifford played in a total of 53 known first-class matches, almost all of them for Kent sides. He played two matches for England representative sides and once for the Players. He sometimes played as a wicket-keeper. His older brother William played for Kent teams before the county club was established in 1842 and his grandfather, Robert, had played for Kent sides in the late 18th century. Clifford died at Gravesend in Kent in 1869 aged 46.
