Archibald Clark Kerr, 1st Baron Inverchapel PC (March 17, 1882 in Australia – July 5, 1951) was a British diplomat. An Australian-born Scot, Clark Kerr entered the Foreign Service in 1906. He served as Ambassador to China during the Japanese occupation of the late 1930s. From 1935 to 1938, he served as Ambassador to the Kingdom of Iraq. Clark Kerr was moved to Moscow in February 1942 where he forged a remarkable relationship with Stalin. His work there and at the Big Three Conferences put him at the very centre of international politics. After the war he was appointed Ambassador to the United States, and was created Baron Inverchapel in 1946. An acquaintance of Guy Burgess and Donald Duart Maclean's superior in Washington, he took their defection to the USSR badly, the shock hastening his early death in 1951.
