Clyde Common was a restaurant and market in Portland, Oregon, United States. The business opened in 2007. In 2020, Clyde Common closed temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reopening in July with outdoor dining and as a market. The bar and restaurant became known as Clyde Tavern, and the part of the former dining area was called Common Market.[1] Clyde Common closed permanently in January 2022.

The restaurant's bar, as led by Jeffrey Morgenthaler, was influential in its creations and helped lead the craft cocktail movement.[2]
