Clofibric acid is a biologically active metabolite of the lipid-lowering drugs clofibrate, etofibrate and theofibrate with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₁ClO₃. It has been found in the environment following use of these drugs, for example in Swiss lakes and the North Sea.

Some derivatives of clofibric acid are in a drug class called fibrates.
