Mount Clare, Grade I listed building in Roehampton, London Borough of Wandsworth, England.

The Neoclassical mansion features symmetrical architecture with a grand portico and enriched decorative elements added by architect Placido Columbani in 1780.

Mount Clare was constructed in 1772 for politician George Clive, with gardens designed by Lancelot Brown and architectural work by Sir Robert Taylor.

The residence witnessed a succession of notable inhabitants, including Charles Hatchett, who discovered niobium, and Hugh Colin Smith, Governor of the Bank of England.

The building currently functions as a student residence hall for the University of Roehampton, managed by the Southlands Methodist Trust.

The mansion received its Grade I listed status on July 14, 1955, marking its position among the most protected architectural structures in England.
