Stewart Clark JP, DL (2 January 1830 – 21 November 1907) was a Scottish businessman and Liberal Party politician.

Stewart Clark was a thread manufacturing entrepreneur. In the 18th century James and Patrick Clark started a thread business which expanded to the United States in the 19th century. In 1952 the firm merged with J&P Coats forming what has since been renamed the Coats Group. [1]

Clark was a Justice of the Peace in Linlithgow and was the Deputy Lord Lieutenant for Renfrewshire. Clark was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Paisley from 1884 to 1885. [2] [3]

Stewart Clark lived in Dundas Castle which he bought in 1899 and had four children including Sir John Stewart-Clark, 1st Baronet of Dundas. The title was taken after Dundas Castle and Clark's son, John, took the double-barrelled surname 'Stewart-Clark' in honour of his father.
