Clive Linton Platt (born 27 October 1977) is an English former professional footballer. A forward, he made 617 appearances in the Football League, including 169 for Rochdale.

In his 19-year-long playing career, Platt also played for Walsall, Notts County, Peterborough United, Milton Keynes Dons, Colchester United, Coventry City, Northampton Town and Bury.

Platt was born in Wolverhampton and began his playing career with Walsall as an apprentice in 1995. A spell of just 32 games over four years saw him loaned to Rochdale in 1999.

The loan secured him a permanent move to Rochdale for a fee of £100,000 – then a club record. Platt made 169 league appearances and scored 30 goals for the club.

In 2003, Platt signed a monthly deal with Notts County, where he scored just three times despite being a first-team regular. An indifferent year at Peterborough United followed, where Platt scored six times.

Platt joined relegation-threatened Milton Keynes Dons in January 2005 and scored vital goals to help save the Dons from relegation under the guidance of Danny Wilson. However, the 2005–06 season was not much better for MK Dons, as they fought relegation again. Platt had a relatively fruitless campaign, but a good run of form towards the end of the season saw him finish second in the League One Player of the Month award for May and almost save the Dons from relegation.

The 2006–07 season saw MK Dons fighting for promotion from League Two. This turned out to be Platt's best season in terms of strike-rate, with him finding the net 18 times before suffering an injury that caused him to miss the first leg of a play-off tie against Shrewsbury Town and have an indifferent second leg.

In July 2007, Platt was sold to Championship side Colchester United for £300,000 – six times Colchester's previous transfer record. Before the transfer, Colchester had recently lost star goal-scorers Chris Iwelumo and Jamie Cureton to Charlton Athletic and Norwich City respectively.
