Donaldo "Dondon" Cabañes Hontiveros (born June 1, 1977[1]) is a Filipino politician and former professional basketball player and coach. He is a member of the Cebu City Council from June 30, 2022 until May 8, 2024, and previously from 2019 to 2021.[2] He serve as the Vice Mayor of Cebu City from November 2021 to June 2022, by virtue of succession due to the death of Mayor Edgardo Labella, and again since May 8, 2024, by the virtue of six months suspension of Mayor Mike Rama.

In the 2000 PBA draft, he was a direct hire of Tanduay and was later traded to the San Miguel Beermen, where he won the 2005 and 2009 PBA Fiesta Conferences. In 2013, he won the PBA Commissioner's Cup with the Alaska Aces. He then retired after winning the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) championship in 2018 with San Miguel Alab Pilipinas. He thereafter ventured into politics and coaching.
