Stephen McDonnell (born 28 January 1989) is an Irish hurler who plays as a corner-back for Premier Senior Championship club Glen Rovers. He made 70 appearances for the Cork senior hurling team between 2011 and 2020, serving as captain for two seasons.

McDonnell began his inter-county career as captain of the Cork minor team in 2007. After a stint with the under-21 team, he joined the Cork senior team for the 2011 season and made his last appearance as a substitute during the 2020 qualifiers. In the interim, McDonnell started in the 2013 All-Ireland final draw and replay defeat by Clare and won two Munster Championship titles, the second as captain of the team in 2017.

After a successful underage career, McDonnell made his senior club championship debut with Glen Rovers as a 17-year-old in 2006 and has since established himself as one of the mainstays of the team. He was a member of the Glen Rovers team that won County Championship titles in 2015 and 2016.
