Fergal O'Donnell is an Irish former Gaelic football manager and player from County Roscommon. As a player he captained the Roscommon county team to the 2001 Connacht Senior Football Championship title, and he also won a Connacht Minor Football Championship in 1989. He played his club football for Roscommon Gaels, with whom he won Roscommon Senior Football Championship medals in 1994, 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2004.

In 2010 he led Roscommon to a Connacht Senior Football Championship as manager of the senior team, resigned in October 2011 because of work commitments, and returned to take over the Roscommon minor team in 2013, leading it to back-to-back Connacht finals that were both lost to Mayo.
