Clark–Fulton is a neighborhood on the West Side of Cleveland, Ohio located just southwest of downtown. It is bounded roughly by Train Avenue to the north, Scranton Road to the east, Daisy Avenue and I-71 to the south, and W.48th Street on the west. 

Originally settled by Europeans in the late 1800s, the Clark-Fulton area was originally inhabited by European immigrants due to an abundance of jobs at the numerous local breweries and the neighboring stockyards. The area's diverse population contributes to the vibrant mix of community events, ethnic restaurants, and historic churches.
