John Faust Clemente (1926–2011) was an Italian physician whose career was in Tasmania, Australia, and who, as an alderman, was one of the main figures behind the creation of the Salamanca Market in Hobart in 1972. In his spare time, he collected art and antiques with his wife Ruth and formed a leading collection of Tasmanian postal history.
