Michael Thomas Donnelly (died 1982) was a Roman Catholic diocesan priest from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

He was later consecrated a bishop on January 1, 1976 at El Palmar de Troya, Spain by Ngo Dinh Thuc Pierre Martin.

He was part of the Palmarian movement for a few months after his consecration. He subsequently left repudiating his involvement with the Palmarians and was reconciled to Pope John Paul II, even though officially laicized.
