Clarence Todd (1892–1973) was an Australian tennis player. A farmer by profession, he was born in Trundle, in rural New South Wales, in 1892. Todd was a good volleyer and he always tried to get to the net as soon as he could in rallies. Todd reached the semi-finals of the 1915 Australasian Championships (losing to Horace Rice).[2] He also won the men's doubles with Rice. From 1916-17 Todd served during World War 1 and was badly injured in the leg when advancing against machine gun fire at the battle of Messines.[3] He lost his first match at 1919 Australasian Championships to Allan North. In 1921 Todd lost in round two of the U. S. Championships to Willis Davis.[4] He played Davis Cup in 1921. He later moved to Queensland.
