No, not personally, but it's not uncommon. Fear of clowns is called coulrophobia.

For most people, the fear is not very deep rooted, but for some it can be pretty bad. Coulrophobia only affects about 12% adults, to some degree. It is much more common in children.

Various events have caused temporary increases in coulrophobia, such as the release of the movie IT, or the 2016 outbreak of people dressing as creepy clowns to scare people.

One of the best things to do is to remember that "creepy clowns" are just people. People in clown costumes are subject to the same laws as people in regular clothes. If anyone is harassing you, chasing you, or lurking around your house, call the police. Clowns fit into handcuffs just like anyone else.
