John Travis Clayton (born May 11, 1954) is a National Football League (NFL) writer and reporter for ESPN. He is also a senior writer for ESPN.com.

Clayton began covering sports while still a student at Churchill Area High School. Starting with the Pittsburgh Steelers' 1972 training camp, he covered the team in twice-weekly dispatches in the St. Marys, Pennsylvania Daily Press.

Clayton went on to attend Duquesne University. Upon graduating in 1976, he began writing for the Pittsburgh Press.

In May 1978, Clayton was sent to cover a Steelers mini-camp in place of the Press' regular Steelers beat writer, Glenn Sheeley. While there he discovered and reported a rules violation which would cost the team a draft pick. The affair was dubbed "Shouldergate" by Clayton. Clayton became persona non grata for some time in his hometown for his role in the affair.
