The range on Cure Wounds is Touch, but it doesn't specificly say wether or not you can cast it upon yourself, so can a cleric cast it on themselves? I suppose you could say yes if you wanted to, but mechanically from the PH, does that work?

If you match whatever it can be cast on, such as, "creature," and it doesn't say you can't then you can.

There may be some spells that say, "other creature." You probably can't use those on yourself.

If you can touch yourself, you can... Know what? I'm not finishing that.

...

What?

I'm not sure your Deity would approve of such behavior... 

 

haha, but seriously, the rules for Spellcasting Targets->Targetting Yourself:

If a spell targets a creature of your choice, you can choose yourself, unless the creature must be a hostile creature or specifically a creature other than you.

 

Since cure wounds lets you choose the target and doesn't say the target has to be hostile or a creature other than yourself, the target can be yourself.
