Nathaniel Edwin Clyne (born 5 April 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right-back or right wing-back and occasionally centre-back for Premier League club Crystal Palace.

A Crystal Palace academy graduate, Clyne made his senior debut in 2008, playing regularly in four Championship seasons, being named Football League Young Player of the Year in 2010 and the club's Player of the Season in 2011 and making 137 appearances. In 2012, he was signed by Premier League side Southampton where he spent three seasons, making over 100 appearances and scored five goals in all competitions.

Clyne was signed by Liverpool in July 2015 for a fee of £12.5 million, starting as Liverpool lost the 2016 League Cup and Europa League finals. Initially an integral starter in the squad, he suffered persistent injury problems and lost his place to youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold before having a brief loan spell with Bournemouth. After making over 100 appearances for Liverpool, he rejoined boyhood club Crystal Palace in 2020, making a further 100 appearances and winning the FA Cup in 2025.

Formerly an international at under-19 and under-21 level, Clyne made his senior international debut for England in November 2014. He was selected for Euro 2016 and made a total of 14 appearances for his country.
