We discuss the complexity of computing various graph polynomials of graphs of fixed clique-width. We show that the chromatic polynomial, the matching polynomial and the two-variable interlace polynomial of a graph G of clique-width at most k with n vertices can be computed in time O(nf( k)), where f(k) ≤3 for the inerlace polynomial, f(k) ≤2k+1 for the matching polynomial and f(k) ≤3 2k+2 for the chromatic polynomial.
