Clarence Alphonsus Walworth (1858-?) was an American translator and hymnologist who contributed to Christian hymnody in the late 19th century. Working within the Protestant tradition, Walworth was known for his work in translating and adapting hymn texts, making sacred music more accessible to English-speaking congregations. His translations helped bridge European and American hymnic traditions during a period of significant development in American church music. While details of his life remain sparse in historical records, Walworth's contributions to hymn translation represent the broader 19th-century effort to expand and refine the English-language hymnal repertoire.
