Edward Francis O'Donnell (April 30, 1887 – November 26, 1920)[1] was an American racing driver.

O'Donnell started his career as a riding mechanic for Duesenberg racing driver Eddie Rickenbacker.

He served as Captain of the Duesenberg team and was highly successful on the dirt tracks and board tracks around the United States, also having raced on the road circuits.

In 1916 he recorded two non-Championship victories, during only the second points championship season conducted in American history.

O'Donnell was fatally injured when he and Gaston Chevrolet collided during the Beverly Hills Speedway Classic race on Thanksgiving Day 1920.
