Ranald "Ran" John McDonald (November 21, 1889 – January 29, 1950[1]) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 159 games in various professional and amateur leagues, including the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA).

Among the teams he played with were the New Westminster Royals, Portland Rosebuds, Victoria Aristocrats, and Spokane Canaries.

Born in Cashion's Glen, Ontario,[2] McDonald played for various senior teams in Fort William, Ontario, and Port Arthur, Ontario, before joining the new New Westminster Royals of the PCHA.

McDonald played eight seasons in all in the PCHA before 1919.

He played in the ill-fated 1919 Stanley Cup Finals, cancelled after five games due to the Spanish flu pandemic,[3] and played one more season in 1920–21 with the Edmonton Dominions of the Big Four League before retiring.
