Philip Matthew Donnelly (March 6, 1891 – September 12, 1961) was an American politician serving as the 41st and 43rd Governor of Missouri.
Donnelly and Christopher S. "Kit" Bond are the only Missouri governors to serve two non-consecutive terms.
[1] Following his graduation from Lebanon High School in 1909 Donnelly attended St. Louis University, earning a law degree in 1913.
Missouri law prohibited someone from serving two consecutive terms as governor, so Donnelly was ineligible to run again in 1948.
Phil M. Donnelly died September 12, 1961, and is buried in the Lebanon, Missouri city cemetery.
