Clyde Albert Drury (November 27, 1906 – January 28, 1987) was an American college football coach, athletics administrator, and professional boxer. He served the head football coach at Western Union College (later known as Westmar University) in Le Mars, Iowa from 1936 to 1938 and Buena Vista College (now known as Buena Vista University) in Storm Lake, Iowa from 1939 to 1941.

Drury was born in Marshalltown, Iowa. He attended Iowa State Teachers College—now known as University of Northern Iowa—and later received a master's degree in physical education at Columbia University. While studying at Columbia, he coached the basketball team at Trinity School in Manhattan. Drury later coached football and basketball at Kimball High School in Kimball, Nebraska for two years, leading his teams to a record of 9–5 in football and 32–2 in basketball. He also coached at his alma mater, Iowa State Teachers, as freshman football coach, assistant coach in football and basketball, and boxing instructor. Drury was hired as athletic director and coach at Western Union in July 1936. He resigned from his post at Western Union in March 1939 to go to Buena Vista. Drury also served as athletic director, basketball coach, and baseball coach at Buena Vista before leaving in 1942, when he volunteered as a physical director for the United States Navy.

Drury lived in Clinton, Iowa from 1949 onward, retiring in 1975 as a farmer and recreational director. He died of pneumonia, on January 28, 1987, at Veterans Administration Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa.
