Margery Clinton (1931–2005) was a Scottish ceramist and a specialist in reduction lustre glazes. She studied painting at the Glasgow School of Art between 1949 and 1953 and was part of the Young Glasgow group, whose inaugural exhibition was held at the McLellan Galleries in 1958. Clinton developed an interest in ceramics before going on to research reduction lustre glazes at the Royal College of Art in the early 1970s. It was there in London where she began research the lustre glass technique of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
A famous Margery was Margery Kempe, a 14th and 15th century English woman who wrote "The Book of Margery Kempe" about her life. It is considered the first autobiography in the English language.
