The title Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, of Chudleigh in the County of Devon, was created in 1672 in the Peerage of England. The title was created as "Clifford of Chudleigh" rather than simply "Clifford" to differentiate it from several other Clifford Baronies, including the Barony of de Clifford, which is still extant.

On the 16th of February 1663 Clifford obtained the reversion of a tellership in the exchequer, and in 1664, on the outbreak of the Dutch war, was appointed commissioner for the care of the sick, wounded and prisoners, with a salary of £1200.
