- Clifford Walter Dupont, GCLM ID (6 December 1905 – 28 June 1978) was an British-born Rhodesian politician who served in the internationally unrecognised positions of Officer Administrating the Government (from 1965 until 1970) and President (from 1970 to 1975). Born in London and qualifying as a solicitor, Dupont served during the Second World War as an officer of the British Royal Artillery in North Africa before first visiting Southern Rhodesia in 1947. He returned a year later, started a ranch and emigrated full-time during the early 1950s, by which time the country had become a territory of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. He entered politics in 1958, winning on the Dominion Party ticket in the Fort Victoria (now Masvingo) federal constituency. Four years later, he became the member for Charter in the Southern Rhodesian parliament, this time running for the Rhodesian Front (RF). At the same time, he was appointed Minister for Justice. Forming a close relationship with the rising RF politician Ian Smith, Dupont assisted in the latter's becoming Prime Minister in 1964 and was consequently promoted to become Smith's deputy. As Deputy Prime Minister, he held the portfolio of External Affairs, and added Defence in June 1965. When Rhodesia's government issued the Unilateral Declaration of Independence from Britain on 11 November 1965, Dupont, as Deputy Prime Minister, was the second to sign. Smith attempted to replace the British-appointed governor – Humphrey Gibbs – with Dupont (as Governor-General), but failing this instead made him Officer Administering the Government, a post he held until 1970, when he became President of the newly-declared Republic of Rhodesia. After suffering from ill health during this last appointment, he retired at the end of 1975 and died in 1978.
- Clifford Walter Dupont was een Rhodesisch staatsman. Hij stamde uit een hugenotenfamilie. In 1964, toen de Centraal-Afrikaanse Federatie uiteenviel, werd Dupont vicepremier van de blanke minderheidsregering in Zuid-Rhodesië. Na de eenzijdige onafhankelijkheidsverklaring door premier Ian Smith van Zuid-Rhodesië werd Dupont door de regering benoemd tot gouverneur van het "onafhankelijke" Rhodesië, feitelijk staatshoofd. Officieel vertegenwoordigde hij koningin Elisabeth, maar de koningin en de Britse regering bleven de afgezette gouverneur Sir Humphrey Biggs erkennen. In 1970 werden de banden met het moederland verbroken, en proclameerde het blanke bewind de Republiek Rhodesië. Daarvan werd Clifford Dupont president, welk ambt hij tot 1975 vervulde. Alleen het apartheidsbewind van Zuid-Afrika erkende hem. In 1975 werd hij opgevolgd als president door Henry Everard.
