Clifton Park is a town in Saratoga County, New York, USA. The population was 32,995 at the 2000 census.

The Town of Clifton Park is on the south border of the county.

The town was created as "Clifton" in 1828 from the Town of Halfmoon. It was the last town created in the county and changed its name to "Clifton Park" in 1829. First settlements in the area were in the end of the 17th Century. The town originally consisted of farmland but when the Northway was built through the town the population and residential and commercial areas of the town skyrocketed. The Town or area was named in 1707 by Naning Harmansen. At that time Nanning Harmansen sent letters to Lord Cornbury requesting letters of Patent for Land he bought from the Indians known as Shenendehowa. He also stated in this correspondence that he wanted the Patent to be known by "Your name of Cliftons Park" This is where and when Clifton Park originated.

The south town line, defined by the Mohawk River is the border of Schenectady County, New York and part of Albany County. Interstate 87, The Northway, passes through the eastern part of the town.
