My Cygwin installation does nothing when I type "clear", it say it does not know this command or something. It is quite basic operation to be unavailable. Oh well, that's just life, nothing that a little googling couldn't help.
This blog's post clears up things for me : I need to install ncurses package. It is fixed now but I still think it should be available by default though.

Or, if you're using bash, you can press ctrl+L.

Thanks from me too for C-l
ctrl+l worked for me
alias cls='echo -e -n "\E[2J" also works native.
Ctrl-L works, thanks!
Thank you, Ctrl + l is so good!
CTRL+L only works if you use the emacs command line editor (not vi).
above alias only works for vt* term types
for any term type use:
alias cls='tput clear ; tput cup 0 0'
utils->ncurses supplies the official clear program
ctrl l works great
ctrl+L works
