Clarence Skelton Wimble (22 April 1861 – 28 January 1930) was a South African cricketer who played one Test match in 1892.

A right-handed batsman and superior fieldsman, Wimble's first-class cricket career comprised just two matches in eleven months. His debut came in a Currie Cup match in April 1891 when Kimberley came to the Old Wanderers ground at Johannesburg and defeated Transvaal. In a timeless match lasting seven days, Wimble top-scored for Transvaal in the first innings with 62 and followed with 46 in the second innings.{{cite web |title=Transvaal v Kimberley 1890-91 |url=http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/3/3660.html |website=CricketArchive |accessdate=4 May 2019}} This performance contributed to his selection for South Africa's sole Test against England in 1891-92, played at Newlands in Cape Town in March 1892. In a three-day match completely dominated by the visitors – England won by an innings and 189 runs – Wimble had the ignominy of scoring a pair, caught in the first innings and stumped in the second.{{cite web |title=Only Test, England tour of South Africa at Cape Town, Mar 19-22 1892 |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/17686/scorecard/62433/south-africa-vs-england-only-test-england-tour-of-south-africa-1891-92 |website=Cricinfo |accessdate=4 May 2019}}
