James Clark (born 1963) is a British diplomat. He is currently Consul General at Chicago, and was previously British Ambassador to Luxembourg.[1] He was called "a new breed of diplomat" by The Times.[1]
Clark's appointment as British Ambassador to Luxembourg in March 2004 was heralded with some small controversy, due largely to his being openly gay.[1][2]
On 30 March 2004, he and his partner Anthony Stewart [2] made history by becoming the first officially recognised gay couple to have an audience with Queen Elizabeth II.
