Duke of Clarence and St Andrews was a title awarded to a prince of the British Royal family. The creation was in the Peerage of Great Britain.[1]

While there had been several creations of Dukes of Clarence (and there was later a Duke of Clarence and Avondale), the only creation of a Duke of Clarence and St Andrews was in 1789 for Prince William, third son of King George III. When William succeeded his brother to the throne in 1830, the dukedom merged in the crown.

Prince William Henry ascended as William IV in 1830 upon his brother's death; and his hereditary titles merged in the Crown. As William had no male issue, the title would have gone extinct in any case, even if he had not become king.
