Reeve, Clara (1729–1807)

English novelist. She translated the English satirist John Barclay's Argenis (1772) from its Latin original, and wrote The Champion of Virtue, a Gothic Story (1777, renamed The Old English Baron in 1778), which was avowedly an imitation of Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto. She also wrote a critical account of The Progress of Romance (1785).

Her other novels include The Two Mentors (1783), The Exiles (1788), Memoirs of Sir Roger de Clarendon (1793), and Destination (1799). She was born in Ipswich, Suffolk, and her father was the rector of Freston.
