Clement Richardson Wood (September 1, 1888–October 26, 1950) was an American writer. He mainly wrote poetry, but he also wrote Tom Sawyer Grows Up, a sequel to Twain's work. He appeared frequently in the pulp magazines, in titles as diverse as Telling Tales, Gangster Stories, Flynn's, and Ace-High Magazine. In 1929, he wrote the biography Bernarr Macfadden: A Study in Success in aid of Macfadden's political aspirations. He was also a socialist.
