Clipper may mean:
- Alberta Clipper, a storm system common to the Midwest United States.
- Clipper ship, a type of fast sailing vessel
- Clipper (aircraft), flying boats of the 1930s. In the twentieth century, the term Clipper was revived by Pan American Airways for the flying boats that opened new global air routes, including vast stretches of the Pacific, to passenger service. Aircraft such as the Consolidated Aircraft Commodore and Boeing Model 314 became iconic symbols of the era of flight, and the name Pan Am Clipper came to stand for the romantic allure of air travel to exotic destinations. All Pan Am aircraft had the word Clipper on their names, even long after the demise of the flying boats, up until the company's collapse in 1991.
