Clydevale is a township on the banks of the Clutha River / Mata-Au, in the Clutha Valley, 29 kilometres north-west of Balclutha.
The township was established by the New Zealand and Australian Land Company in the 1860s. The company officially named the township in 1863, after the River Clyde in Scotland.
French food company Danone operates milk factory at Clydevale, which produces toddler infant formula brand Karicare. A new biomass boiler plant was installed between 2019 and 2021.
The settlement has a war memorial with the statue of a soldier, and a plaque listing local men who died in World War I and World War II.
