Cliff Jenkins (born c. 1946) is a former city councillor in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He represented Ward 25[1] which was one of the two Don Valley West wards, from 2003 to 2010.
Jenkins was born in Hamilton to a working-class family. He attended McMaster University on a scholarship, and graduated with an undergraduate mathematics degree. He then went to the University of Toronto where he obtained a master's degree in mathematics and a bachelor's degree in education. He briefly worked as a high school math teacher before joining IBM Canada. He eventually rose to be a client executive at IBM.
He served as president of the York Mills Ratepayers Association.[2] He was elected to Toronto City Council in the 2003 municipal election[3] after incumbent Joanne Flint was appointed to the Ontario Municipal Board. He lost the 2010 election after being narrowly defeated by Jaye Robinson.[1][2]
