During his presidency, Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States, saw multiple efforts to impeach him.

An early effort in congress saw Republican congressman Bob Barr write a resolution, co-signed by eighteen fellow House Republicans, which sought to launch an impeachment inquiry in 1997.

In October of 1998, in the aftermath of the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal and the release of the Starr Report, which largely focused on the scandal, an impeachment inquiry was launched, and in December Clinton was impeached on allegations of perjury and obstruction of justice. Clinton was acquitted in his subsequent impeachment trial.
