Clayman is a melodic death metal album by In Flames. The album was released by Nuclear Blast in 2000. The album is the band's last release in a pure melodic death metal style, with later albums featuring influences from alternative metal. Most of the lyrics deal with depression and internal struggles.

The album's cover art is based on Leonardo da Vinci's drawing, the Vitruvian Man. The Jesterhead appears in the background, both on the cover, and in the album booklet itself.
