Max Clendinning (26 September 1924 in County Armagh, Northern Ireland – 4 June 2020) was an architect and interior designer.

Clendinning is best known for his 1965 design of the "slot-together but sturdy looking" Maxima chair, inspired in part by computer lettering. This design was featured in an exhibit at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 2012. He also created designs for Christian Dior and Liberty & Co and, for London Midland Region of British Railways, the laminated wooden roofs at Manchester Oxford Road railway station (1960).

He lived in Islington with partner Ralph Adron for forty years.
