Sylvia Clark Molloy M.A., (born Sylvia Clark Leyden; 1914-2008), was a British Realist and Impressionist artist and teacher. A graduate of Durham University, she lived abroad for much of her life - returning to England in the mid 1960s. Her many paintings and sketches of the peoples of South Africa and Burma in particular, capture a broad cross section of society. Some can be viewed at the British Library (India Office Collections).

In later life she taught at Stratton School, Biggleswade, before becoming Head of Art at St Francis College, Letchworth Garden City.

Her work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Paris Salon. She wrote of her experiences in Burma in Burma Bride (Able 1996)
