Colin Clark (d. 1808) was a Scottish sea captain and merchant who resided first in Beaufort, NC and later in Windsor. Unwilling to sign the oath of allegiance to the State of North Carolina, Clark left the state and fled to New York in March 1778, taking William Brimage, a prominent member of the Gourd Patch Conspiracy with him. In 1779 Clark saw Brimage in Bermuda before serving as a private in a loyalist unit during the Siege of Savannah, Georgia and later worked as a merchant with the British Army. Later he and Brimage lost goods on board the 3 Friends when it was captured by American forces near Edenton even though it was sailing under a flag of truce. Clark later petitioned the American Loyalist Claims Commission for losses he sustained during the war and he also vouched for other petitioners claims, including Francis Johnston, a loyalist who also had resided in Bertie County.
