A '''staff clerk''' is a professional specialist [[clerk (position)|clerk]] in the [[British Army]] who is a member of an administrative [[corps]], as opposed to a unit clerk, who is a member of the corps or [[regiment]] in which they work and is trained first and foremost in the duties of that unit (such as an [[infantry]]man).

Staff clerks predominantly work in headquarters units alongside [[staff officer]]s, hence the name. Clerks working in headquarters were consolidated into the [[Royal Army Service Corps|Army Service Corps]] (later [[Royal Army Service Corps]]) during the [[Boer War]].<ref>Colonel R. H. Beadon, ''The Royal Army Service Corps'', Vol.II, Cambridge University Press, 1931, p.16</ref> In the [[McLeod Reorganisation of Army Logistics]], staff clerks were transferred to the [[Royal Army Ordnance Corps]] in 1965.

In 1992, they were again transferred to the Staff and Personnel Support Branch of the [[Adjutant General's Corps]] and were merged with unit clerks.
