Arian Keon Clark (born April 16 1975 in Danville, Illinois) is a former professional basketball player who has played in the NBA.

After a collegiate career at UNLV, Clark was selected 13th overall by the Orlando Magic in the 1998 NBA Draft but was traded to the Denver Nuggets. He began his professional career with Denver and would go on to play for the Toronto Raptors, Sacramento Kings, and Utah Jazz. With the Jazz, his last NBA stop he only played two games before being traded to the Phoenix Suns for whom he never played a game. His off-court issues ultimately led to his release from the Suns and exodus from the league. During his stay in the league, Clark was known for his excellent jumping ability, (he was said to have had a 40 inch vertical jump) and his unusually skinny legs. Keon Clark in 2002 was cited for marijuana possession for having about a gram of marijuana in his car when he was pulled over. Clark was cited in 2000 for a similar offense.

In 2002, Clark posted averages of 11.3 points and 1.51 blocks per game, while also finishing ninth in the NBA in total personal fouls.

Currently, Clark is residing in his hometown of Danville, and his off-court issues remain a factor in day-to-day life. Friends and neighbors of Clark claim that he is using cocaine and marijuana reguarly. A return to the NBA does not look very likely, he is thought of as a lost talent. He holds career averages of 8.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.62 blocks per game.
