Trevor McDonald is an Australian former rugby league player.

A winger originally from Innisfail, McDonald was a speedy player who ran professionally and gained international honours against the touring 1959 New Zealand team, playing the opening Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.[1] Australia had a narrow 9-8 win in muddy conditions not to McDonald's favour and he lost his place to Eddie Lumsden for their next fixture.[2]

McDonald spent part of his career in Toowoomba, where he played for Newtown and Valleys.[3]
