Caitlin Clark (born January 22, 2002) is an American college basketball player for the Iowa Hawkeyes of the Big Ten Conference. Widely considered one of the greatest women's college basketball players of all time, she is the NCAA Division I women's all-time leading scorer. As of February 16, 2024, Clark is just 99 points away from surpassing "Pistol" Pete Maravich to become the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I history, mens or womens.

Clark attended Dowling Catholic High School in her hometown of West Des Moines, Iowa, where she was named a McDonald's All-American and rated the fourth-best player in her class by ESPN. In her freshman season with Iowa, she led the NCAA Division I in scoring and earned All-American honors. As a sophomore, Clark was a unanimous first-team All-American and became the first women's player to lead the Division I in points and assists in a single season. In her junior season, she won all major national player of the year awards and led Iowa to its first national championship game. Clark again led the Division I in assists and set Big Ten single-season marks in points and assists. As a senior, she became the NCAA Division I women's all-time leading scorer and broke the conference record in career assists.

At the youth international level, Clark has won three gold medals with the United States, including two at the FIBA Under-19 Women's World Cup, where she was named Most Valuable Player in 2021.
