Clarmin is an unincorporated community in Lively Grove Township, Washington County, Illinois, United States. Clarmin is located along Illinois Route 4 and Illinois Route 13, 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest of Tilden.

Clarmin was laid out by two judges in 1908,[2] Green and Bernreuter, from Nashville, Illinois, forming the name from the names of their wives, Clara and Minnie.[3]

The community was reported to have a population of 50 in 1968.[4]
