Sean Geoffrey Clingeleffer (born 9 May 1980) is an Australian former cricketer who played for Tasmania.{{Cite news |last=Stockdale |first=David |date=10 November 2001 |title=Sign of things to come for Clinger |page=100 |work=The Mercury}}{{Cite news |last=Stockdale |first=David |date=15 December 2000 |title='Clinga' is one to watch in keepers' stakes |page=58 |work=The Mercury}} He plays his club cricket for North Hobart Cricket Club.

Although a difficult batsman to remove, his defensive style has caused criticism. After eight seasons with Tasmania and being a major part of their success in the Pura Cup Final in 2006–07 – scoring a century – he was dropped in 2007/08 after scoring 103 runs in five matches and subsequently not offered a contract for the 2008/09 season.
