Scott Albert Donald (Born 14 February 1980 in Townsville, Queensland) is a retired Australian professional rugby league footballer and played for the Leeds Rhinos of the European Super League competition. He was known affectionately as 'Scotty D' by some fans.

Scott joined the Rhinos from Australian team Manly at the back end of 2005 as a replacement for outgoing winger Mark Calderwood and made a scoring debut for the Rhinos against Huddersfield Giants on 11 February 2006.

Towards the end of the 2006 season he built up a rapport with Clinton Toopi with the two of them linking up well together. That looks to have continued into this season with them both being at the centre of a number of attacking moves in pre-season.

He was the 3rd top try scoring winger in the league in 2006, with only St Helens' Ade Gardner and Catalans' Justin Murphy scoring more tries than he did.

In September 2007, Donald was named in the Super League Dream Team. In October 2007, Donald scored a try in the Rhino's 33-6 victory over St Helens at Old Trafford in the Super League Grand Final.

He has been named in the Super League Dream Team for 2008's Super League XIII season.[1]
