'Richard Harry 'Dick' Clements' (11 October, 1928 – 23 November, 2006) was editor of the left-wing weekly Tribune from 1960 to 1982.
Educated at King Alfred School, Hampstead and the London School of Economics, Clements worked briefly for the ''Daily Herald'' before joining ''Tribune'' as a reporter. After leaving ''Tribune'', he became office manager for Michael Foot, the leader of the Labour Party, continuing in a similar role under Neil Kinnock. In 1999, he was named by the ''Sunday Times'' as a Soviet spy – an allegation he denied, pointing to the large number of anti-Soviet articles published by ''Tribune'' under his editorship.
Clements was married to Bridget MacDonald, a great-niece of Ramsay MacDonald.
