克里夫兰百年纪念半美元（英語：Cleveland Centennial half dollar）又名克里夫兰百年纪念五大湖博览会半美元（Cleveland Centennial Great Lakes Exposition half dollar），是费城铸币局1936和1937年生产的一种50美分面额银质，币上所刻年份均为1936，旨在纪念俄亥俄州克里夫兰注册成市100周年，同时也纪念1936年在克里夫兰举办的。 20世纪30年代中期，纪念币升值迅速，辛辛那提商人兼钱币收藏家托马斯·梅里什希望能促使国会授权发行多种新纪念币，由他独家发行。克里夫兰百年纪念半美元和辛辛那提音乐中心半美元便是由此诞生，两者都为他赚得大笔收益。克里夫兰百年纪念半美元由布伦达·普特南设计，方案还得到雕塑家的修改建议，然后获美国美术委员会批准。 除了在博览会现场和俄亥俄州各地银行发售外，梅里什还通过邮购发售半美元，办事处设在辛辛那提。纪念币销售情况良好，国会授权发行的五万枚全部出产。为遏制过高利润，国会在法案中留有保障措施，虽有部分硬币是在1937年铸造，但其上所刻年份没有变化，所以收藏人士只需购买一枚就能集齐这种纪念币，经销商此后多年一直留有上万枚库存。

The Cleveland Centennial half dollar is a commemorative United States half dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1936 and 1937, though all bear the earlier date. Sometimes known as the Cleveland Centennial Great Lakes Exposition half dollar, it was issued to mark the 100th anniversary of Cleveland, Ohio, as an incorporated city, and in commemoration of the Great Lakes Exposition, held in Cleveland in 1936. In the mid-1930s, commemorative coins were increasing in value, and Cincinnati businessman Thomas G. Melish, a coin collector, lobbied Congress to authorize several new issues, of which he would be the sole distributor. He was successful with the Cincinnati Musical Center half dollar, from which he profited greatly, and with the Cleveland piece. Brenda Putnam designed the Cleveland coin, which was approved by the Commission of Fine Arts after suggestions by sculptor Lee Lawrie. Melish distributed the Cleveland coins through the exposition, at local banks, and by mail order from his office in Cincinnati. Sales were good, and the full authorized mintage of 50,000 was struck. Congress had inserted safeguards in the legislation to curb excessive profits, and though some of the coins were minted in 1937, there was no change of date, meaning collectors would have to purchase only one piece to have a complete set. Thousands remained in dealer inventories for years, and the coins remain inexpensive by the standards of commemorative coins of the era.
