Peter J. McDonald (July 16, 1912, in Cartwright, Manitoba[2] – May 4, 1971, in Victoria B.C.[3]) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1962 to 1966.[4]

McDonald was educated at Holmfield, Manitoba[2] and worked as an International Harvester dealer and farmer, also raising purebred Hereford cattle.[5] He served as vice-president of the Industrial Development Board of Killarney, was a councillor in that town from 1954 to 1958, and served as its mayor from 1959 to 1963.[2]

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1962 provincial election, defeating incumbent Liberal Edward Dow[4] by 1,015 votes in the constituency of Turtle Mountain. He served as a backbench supporter of Dufferin Roblin's government during his time in the legislature. In the 1966 election, he lost to Dow[4] by only five votes. He did not seek a return to the legislature after this time.

McDonald moved to Victoria, British Columbia around 1967 and died there a few years later.[5]
