Mrs. Clinton suffered a concussion earlier this month after fainting and falling down.
At the time, she was reported to have had a stomach virus and to have passed out after becoming dehydrated.
Mrs. Clinton, 65, is due to stand down as secretary of state before U.S President Barack Obama officially begins his second term in January.
Doctors discovered the clot during a follow-up examination on Sunday, her spokesman Philippe Reines said.
“She is being treated with anti-coagulants and is at New York-Presbyterian Hospital so that they can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours,” he said.
“They will determine if any further action is required.”
No information was given about where the blood clot had formed.
Mrs. Clinton is due to give evidence before a Congressional committee in January in connection with the attack in September on the U.S consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi.
The U.S ambassador to Libya and three American officials were killed in the incident.
Mrs. Clinton was appointed secretary of state at the start of Mr. Obama’s first term, in January 2009.
Her most recent foreign trip was to Dublin earlier this month.
She is known for her gruelling travel schedule.
