Charles McDonald (19 April 1919 — August 2005) was a Scottish international rugby union player.
Born in Jedburgh, McDonald could play a variety of backline positions and was quick off the mark.
McDonald played as a wing three-quarter in his solitary Scotland appearance against the touring Wallabies at Murrayfield in 1947, having been called into the team when Charlie Drummond pulled out with influenza.
In the 1950s, McDonald was a prolific points-scorer playing for Brighton and Sussex.
McDonald was the uncle of Jed-Forest and Scotland winger David Rose.
