Sir Clifford de Lisle Inniss (26 October 1910 – 21 December 1998) was a Barbadian cricketer and lawyer.

Inniss was born at Friendly Hall, Saint Michael, Barbados, and attended Harrison College in Bridgetown.[1][2] He was a right-handed batsman who played a few matches of first-class cricket for Barbados from 1927–28 to 1938–39.[2] His highest scores were the 72 and 80 he made against British Guiana in 1929–30.[3] While studying law at Oxford University in 1933 he joined the West Indian touring team for their first-class matches early in the tour against Oxford University in Oxford and against MCC at Lord's. He and George Headley put on 149 for the third wicket against MCC.[4]

Inniss became a QC, and later served as Chief Justice of British Honduras.[4] He died in Belmopan, the capital of Belize, aged 88. His brother, Bruce de Lisle Inniss, played one first-class match for Barbados in 1942.[5]
