Baron Clemens August Droste zu Vischering (German: Clemens August Freiherr von Droste zu Vischering; 21 January 1773 – 19 October 1845) was an Archbishop of Cologne. His clashes with the Prussian government were characteristic of the conflict between the Catholic church and the Prussian-Protestant state power in 19th-century Germany.
