Gary McDonald (born 10 April 1982) is a professional footballer currently playing for English League One club Oldham Athletic.

He started his career at Kilmarnock, making his debut in the 2001-02 season and has been capped by Scotland at Under-21 level.

Gary McDonald was also capped in a Scotland B international against Poland at his home ground, Rugby Park in 2005, scoring the opening goal in a 2-0 victory. In July 2006, McDonald became John Sheridan's first signing as Oldham manager. On 5 January 2008, McDonald scored from 23 metres (25 yd) in Oldham's 1-0 win over Premier League side Everton in the third round of the FA Cup.[1] Interviewed on Match of the Day after the match, McDonald described the goal as the best of his career.

In late April 2008, McDonald agreed a pre-contract agreement to sign for Aberdeen in the summer.[2]
