Clive Ernest Fugill CNZM (born 1949) is a New Zealand Māori tohunga whakairo (master carver), author and long serving kaiako whakairo (carving lecturer) of the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute.^[2] He affiliates to the Ngāti Ranginui iwi of Tauranga, and also has links to Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Rangiwewehi and Ngāti Tūkorehe.^[3][4]

Fugill began carving at the young age of 9 and was accepted as a student in the inaugural class of the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute in 1967.^[5] The Institute was reconstituted at that time after being closed for over two decades due to the Second World War. He was taught by tohunga whakairo Hone Taiapa.^[2][5]

Through the early years of the NZMACI the focus was on the restoration of churches and marae around New Zealand. The staff and students also carved new work for public areas as Rotorua parks and RSA.^[5] This work was a forerunner to the Māori renaissance that followed in the 1970s and 1980s. Fugill continued at the institute throughout this period as a senior graduate helping to prepare artworks for over 40 Māori wharenui (meeting houses).^[5]

Fugill has served as tōhunga whakairo and Tumu Whakarae of Te Wānanga Whakairo Rākau o Aotearoa (The National Woodcarving School) at NZMACI since 1983.^[3][5][1]
