Sir Cecil Clementi (b. 1 September 1875, Cawnpore, India – d. 5 April 1947, Buckinghamshire, England, United Kingdom) was the Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Straits Settlements and the High Commissioner for the Federated Malay States from 1929 to 1934. Proficient in Chinese languages, primarily Cantonese and Mandarin, Clementi had a long experience in dealing with Chinese problems, and was quite unpopular with the locals. His strong measures to suppress anti-colonial propaganda, which were Chinese and communist in origin, were seen as racially divisive. He resigned on grounds of ill health in 1934.
