Conor O'Donnell, known as Conor O'Donnell Snr to distinguish him from another footballer who plays with the same club, [1] [2] is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for St Eunan's and the Donegal county team.

The elder brother of Niall, O'Donnell — a half-back — was first called into the Donegal senior team for the 2020 Dr McKenna Cup. [3] [4] He started the opening 2020 National Football League game against Mayo and completed the game. [5] He also started and completed the next two games against Meath and Galway. [6] [7] He did not feature in the next two games, against Dublin and Monaghan. [8] [9] However, the COVID-19 pandemic then brought all competition to a halt and, upon resumption in October, O'Donnell sustained an injury during a challenge match against Roscommon which left him unable to play in the remaining league games against Tyrone and Kerry in October 2020. [10]

With his club he won a Donegal Senior Football Championship in 2021, scoring a point in the final. [1] He also scored points in the quarter-final and semi-final. [2]
