Michael Donnellan (1900 to 27 September 1964) was an Irish Gaelic footballer from Dunmore, County Galway, who became better known as the founder of the Clann na Talmhan party and a member of Dail Eireann. In his youth he was a talented footballer who won an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medal with the Galway county team in 1925 and captained Galway in their 1933 final defeat to Cavan. He sat in the Dail from 1943, served as a Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Finance, and died at Croke Park during the 1964 All-Ireland final, shortly before his son John received the Sam Maguire Cup as victorious Galway captain.
