Clarence Nicholas "Nick" Saunders (born 14 September 1963) is a retired Bermudian high jumper.
He won a bronze medal at the 1982 Commonwealth Games and finished fifth at the 1988 Summer Olympics. In 1989 he held the Commonwealth record with 2.34 metres, but this was equalled by Dalton Grant. At the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, Saunders would jump 2.36 to take the Commonwealth record and the gold medal ahead of Grant.[1] 2.36 metres remained Saunders' career best jump, and it is still a Bermudian record.[2] Dalton Grant would later improve his personal best to 2.36 metres (2.37 metres indoor [3]). He also still holds the national record for the 400 metres hurdles, set in 1994.
