Beverly A. Clarno (born March 1936), commonly known as Bev Clarno, is a Republican politician in the U.S. state of Oregon. She became Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives in 1995, succeeding influential speaker Larry Campbell.[1] She served in the House from 1989 to 1996 (through the 1995 session). She did not seek reelection to the House, choosing instead to run for Oregon State Treasurer in 1996, but was defeated by the then-incumbent, Jim Hill.[2]

In 2000, she was elected to the Oregon State Senate,[3] where she served from 2001 to 2003. She resigned on August 1, 2003,[4] to take a position with the George W. Bush administration, as a regional representative for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.[5][6]

Clarno was born in Langlois, Oregon.[7]
