Clarke Quay is a historical riverside quay in Singapore, located within the Singapore River Planning Area, upstream from the mouth of the Singapore River and Boat Quay. It was named after Sir Andrew Clarke, Singapore's second Governor and Governor of the Straits Settlements from 1873 to 1875, who played a key role in positioning Singapore as the main port for the Malay states of Perak, Selangor and Sungei Ujong. Clarke Quay is also the name of a road along the quay, part of which has since been converted into a pedestrian mall.
