Frances Clytie Rivett-Carnac (; 16 May 1874 – 1 January 1962) was a British sailor who competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics. She was a crew member of the British boat Heroine III, the only boat in the 7-metre class. Because a second British entry failed to make it to the start, the boat was required to complete just one lap of two races to win.
