Cathbarr O'Donnell (Irish: Cathbarr Ó Domhnaill; c. 1583 – 15 September 1608) was an Irish nobleman and member of the O'Donnell dynasty of Tyrconnell. The youngest brother of Red Hugh O'Donnell, Cathbarr fought in the Nine Years' War. He married Rosa O'Doherty, sister of Cahir O'Doherty.
In 1607 Cathbarr took part in the Flight of the Earls, leaving Ireland for mainland Europe. He settled in Rome but shortly afterwards died of a fever.
His name is often anglicised as Caffar. It is latinised as Calfurnius on his tomb inscription.
