Clifford is a former unincorporated community in northwestern Williamson County, Illinois. It is a former early 20th century mining settlement that has almost disappeared since the closing of local mines.

A post office was established on 26 January 1905, and it remained in operation until after 1931.

The population in 1958 was listed as 300.[2]
