Leigh Gerard Donnellan (born 3 November 1957) is an Australian former rugby union player.
A Canberra native, Donnellan was educated at Daramalan College and spent his entire career with the local Daramalan Rugby Club, also earning regular ACT representative honours. He appeared for the ACT against the touring 1979 All Blacks and in 1982 captained the territory against Scotland. In 1984, Donnellan captained Daramalan to their maiden first-grade premiership.
Donnellan won Wallabies selection in 1989 as a reserve prop for the second Test match against the British & Irish Lions in Brisbane at Ballymore, to back up Dan Crowley and Mark Hartill, but didn't get to take the field. He was again restricted to the bench for the series finale in Sydney.
