Clackmannan ( ; ) is a small town and civil parish set in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. Situated within the Forth Valley, Clackmannan is south-east of Alloa and south of Tillicoultry.

== Name and toponymy == The name Clackmannan may be of Brittonic origin. The first element is probably *clog, meaning "rock, crag, cliff" (cf. Welsh clog, Gaelic clach), and the second is the regional or ethnic name Manau, seen also in Slamannan (Sliabh Mhanann) and possible Dalmeny (though in Gaelic this is Dùn Mheinidh). The name comes from the root man- meaning "projecting" and may have ties to the Celtic deity Manannán. The name of the town has been said to allude to the Stone of Manau or Stone of Mannan, a pagan monument that can be seen in the town square beside Clackmannan Tolbooth, which dates from 1592.
