Stephen McDonald (1884 – 1964) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right half, primarily for Falkirk[2] with whom he won the Scottish Cup in 1913.[3] Earlier in his career he had played for Dundee and been on the books at Aston Villa, but never made a first-team appearance for the Birmingham club.[4]

The closest he came to any representative honours was an appearance in a Scottish Football League XI trial in 1910.[5]
