Clifford Morris (died November 1944), better known as Mighty Destroyer, was a Trinidadian calypsonian who won the Calypso King contest in 1941.

Hailing from Chaguanas, Mighty Destroyer won the Calypso King title in 1941 with the song "Adolf Hitler".[1][2] He died in November 1944, prompting a tribute song from fellow calypsonian Ziegfield.[3]

Mighty Destroyer is considered one of the great early calypsonians.[4]
