Hugh O'Donnell (15 February 1913 – 9 May 1965) was a Scottish professional footballer. He was the younger brother of fellow footballer Frank O'Donnell. The siblings stayed together for the first sixteen years of their careers, both playing concurrently for Celtic, Preston North End and Blackpool. The following season, 1939–40, was the first season of regional competitions, brought about by the outbreak of World War II in September 1939. Rochdale became his fourth club, in 1946, and he went on to make forty league appearances for them, scoring fourteen goals. He died on 9 May 1965, aged 52.
