Roger Clerk (fl. 1388) was an English Member of Parliament (MP). He served as a Member of the Parliament of England for Arundel in February 1388.
A separate historical figure also named Roger Clerk (sometimes referred to as Roger "two urinals" Clerk) appears in the records of medieval London. In 1382, he was prosecuted by the mayor and aldermen of London for practicing medicine without authority. He had prescribed a written charm to be hung around a feverish woman's neck as a cure. When the treatment failed, the husband brought him before the city authorities. Roger Clerk admitted he had no formal medical training, and he was convicted as a rogue and impostor. His punishment was to be paraded through the city on a horse without a saddle, with trumpets and pipes playing, while the parchment charm and a whetstone (symbolizing lies) were hung around his neck, along with an urinal hung before him and another on his back. He was then placed in the pillory. This case is recorded in the Memorials of London and London Life and was later cited in The Lancet in 1868 as a historical parallel to contemporary concerns about quack medicine.
