Colin Agnew McDonald (born 15 October 1930 at Bury, Lancashire) is an English former football goalkeeper.
He played for Burnley from 1953 to 1959, making 201 total appearances, until a leg injury forced his retirement. He also played eight matches for the England national football team, including all four matches in the 1958 FIFA World Cup.
The broken leg that would ultimately end his career came in an accidental clash with Liam Tuohy. The game was played between the Football League and League of Ireland at Dalymount Park on St Patrick's Day 1959. The attendance for the game, which ended 0-0, was given by the Irish Independent at that time as 35,000.
