Donald McDonald Mackay

Donald McDonald MacKay (c. 1845 – 30 January 1904) was an Australian pastoralist and politician who was a member of the Legislative Council of Western Australia from 1896 to 1902, representing North Province.

MacKay left for Western Australia in 1869, and went to the Pilbara, where he developed a pastoral lease on the Maitland River.

With his brother, Roderick MacKay, he later developed Mundabullangana Station on the Yule River.
