Mamie Phipps Clark (1917 – 1983) was an African-American social psychologist who, along with her husband Kenneth Clark, focused on the development of self-consciousness in Black preschool children.

They were known for their 1940s experiments using dolls to study children's attitudes about race. The Clarks testified as expert witnesses in Briggs v. Elliott (1952), one of five cases combined into Brown v. Board of Education (1954). The Clarks' work contributed to the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in which it determined that de jure racial segregation in public education was unconstitutional.
