Clinton van Rensburg (born 9 October 1975)[1] is a South African former rugby union player.
A native of Cape Town, he played for Western Province, Natal Sharks and the Orange Free State in the Currie Cup. In 1998 he linked up with South African coach Andre Bester at Irish club Ballymena, making him available to play for Ulster. He played inside centre for the province, replacing Mark McCall after his career-ending injury.[2] He made two appearances in the IRFU Interprovincial Championship,[3] [4] and featured in all six pool games in Ulster's 1998-99 Heineken Cup-winning campaign, scoring a try against Toulouse,[5] but was unavailable for the knockout stages, having signed a contract with Swansea.[6]
He went on to play for the Sharks and Cats in Super 12, the Eastern Province Elephants in the Currie Cup, and Tarbes in the Pro D2. As of 2024, he coaches rugby at Rondebosch Boys' High School in Cape Town.[7]
