Larry Clark (born 1943 in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American photographer and film director. After receiving his High School Diploma from Central High in Tulsa, Clark attended Layton School of Art in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he studied under Walter Sheffer and Gerard Bakker. He was then drafted into the army and sent to Vietnam.

As an artist, Clark gained recognition for his haunting portrayal of teen subculture, most notably through his photography books Tulsa, released in 1971, and Teenage Lust, released in 1983. Clark's work can be found in permanent museum collections throughout Europe, Asia, and the United States (including the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Frankfurt Museum für Moderne Kunst), and he remains a significant force in contemporary art.

Clark's first feature film Kids was released to both controversy and widespread critical acclaim in 1995. His sixth feature, to be released in 2006, is Wassup Rockers.

His films are often labelled as exploitive and even borderline child pornography by film critics for their frequent and explicit depictions of children and teenagers using drugs and having sex. Kids received an NC-17 rating because of this, and Ken Park has never been widely released for the same reason. Now well into his 60's, Clark continues to document teen/youth culture almost exclusively.

He has notably dated the much younger female leads to most of his movies, including Chloe Sevingy, Rachel Miner, and Bijou Phillips. He currently lives with his girlfriend, Tiffany Limos (his junior by 37 years), and splits his time between New York and Los Angeles
