Clement Martyn Doke ( 16 May 1893 in Bristol, United Kingdom – 24 February 1980 in East London, South Africa ) was a South African linguist working mainly on African languages.

The Doke family had been engaged in missionary activity for the Baptist Church for some generations.

His father Reverend Joseph J. Doke left England and travelled to South Africa in 1882, where he met and married Agnes Biggs.

Clement Doke returned to Kafulafuta as missionary in 1914, followed by his sister Olive two years later.

At first, Clement Doke was frustrated by his inability to communicate with the Lamba.

Clement Doke was also interested in ethnology.

For Doke, literacy was part of the evangelisation since people had to able to read to appreciate the message of the Bible, but it was only after his retirement that he completed the translation of the Bible into Lamba.

In 1919 Doke married Hilda Lehmann, who accompanied him back to Lambaland.

Clement Doke also realised that his field work couldn't continue much longer and left in 1921.

At the request of the government of Southern Rhodesia, Doke investigated the range of dialect diversity among the languages of the country and made recommendations for Unified Shona.
