Ian Clifford McDonald (born May 10, 1953 in Barrow-in-Furness, England) is a former English footballer.

A left-footed midfielder, McDonald began his career with his hometown club Barrow before joining Workington. A move to Liverpool followed but he did not break into the first team, and was loaned to Colchester United before joining Mansfield Town with whom he won promotion in 1977.

He moved to York City where he became a regular in midfield before joining Aldershot in 1982. At Aldershot he gained renown as a skilful midfielder and played a key role in the side's promotion to the Third Division under Len Walker in 1987. After leaving League football in 1989 to join Farnborough Town, he returned to Aldershot as caretaker manager during the 1991/92 season, during which the club went out of business.
