James Lee Clark (May 13, 1968 – April 11, 2007) was an American murderer whose controversial execution by the state of Texas sparked international outcry as it was believed by many that his execution violated the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Atkins v. Virginia (2002) which held that executions of mentally retarded criminals is cruel and unusual punishment which is prohibited by the Eighth Amendment.
