**Edward Montgomery Clift** (talaffuzi: *Edvard Montgomeri Klift*; 1920-yil 17-oktyabr — 1966-yil 23-iyul) amerikalik aktyor. Toʻrt karra Oscar mukofotiga nomzod boʻlgan. *The New York Times gazetasi* u „moody, sensitive young men" obrazi bilan tanilganini aytgan.

U Howard Hawksning „*Red River*" (1948), George Stevensning „*A Palace in the Sun"* (1951), Fred Zinnemannning „*From Here to Eternity"* (1953), Stanley Kramerning „*Judgment at Nuremberg*" (1961) va John Hustonning „*The Miisfits*" (1961) filmlaridagi rollari bilan mashhurlikka erishgan.

Marlon Brando va James Dean bilan bir qatorda Clift Hollywooddagi mashhur aktyorlaridan biri hisoblangan. U Lee Strasberg va Elia Kazan bilan aktyorlar studiyasida oʻqishga taklif qilingan birinchi aktyorlardan biri edi. U, shuningdek, Hollywoodga kelganidan keyin shartnoma imzolamay, noyob harakatni amalga oshirdi, faqat birinchi ikkita filmi muvaffaqiyatli boʻlganidan keyin buni amalga oshirdi. Bu „keyingi 40 yil davomida yulduz-studiya munosabatlarini shakllantirishni davom ettiradigan kuch farqi" deb taʼriflangan. Aktyor haqida yaratilgan koʻplab afsonalarga oydinlik kiritish uchun uning jiyani tomonidan 2018-yilda „*Making Montgomery Clift*" nomli hujjatli film suratga olingan.
