Cliff Green (August 4, 1896- May 29, 1969) was a professional magician that worked in vaudeville in the early 1900's. He became friends with fellow Canadian Dai Vernon.

He was a past president of the Society of American Magicians Parent Assembly.

Cliff was known for his original and technically difficult card magic. He created the Interlocked Production of Cards for his vaudeville act in the 1910s and 20s. His original melthod is explained in his book, Professional Card Magic. The method published in Expert Card Technique under Cliff Green's name is actually the inferior method created by Tenkai, who saw Green perform his original version at a vaudeville date and attempted to copy it.

Richard Kaufman purchased the copyright to his book Professional Card Magic and is working on a new and more clearly written version, which was originally edited by Howie Schwarzman.
