Donnybrook is a city in Ward County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 75 at the 2020 census.[3] It is part of the Minot Micropolitan Statistical Area.

The first place named Donnybrook was founded in 1895 and named after Donnybrook Fair in Ireland. In 1897, the postmaster of this site changed the name to Goetz. The name Donnybrook was then reused in 1898 when a new town formed to the west of Goetz along the main line of the Soo Line Railroad.[5]
