Eric Donaldson (born June 11, 1947 in St. Catherine, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae singer/songwriter.

Donaldson has won the Jamaican Festival Song Competition five times, in 1971, 1977, 1978, 1984 and 1993. His winning 1971 entry, "Cherry Oh Baby", launched him into the limelight, although he had been composing and recording since 1964. "Cherry Oh Baby" has been covered by both The Rolling Stones and UB40.
