Donaldo "Dondon" Cabañes Hontiveros (born June 1, 1977) is a Filipino politician and former professional basketball player and coach. He has been serving as vice mayor of Cebu City since 2024 by virtue of succession, due to the suspension of Mayor Mike Rama wherein Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia assumed the mayorship. Hontiveros had previously served as vice mayor of Cebu City from 2021 to 2022 also by virtue of succession due to the death of Mayor Edgardo Labella wherein Vice Mayor Mike Rama assumed the mayorship.

In basketball, Hontiveros has won three Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) championships and was a 13-time PBA All-Star. He started his career in his hometown of Cebu City, playing for the University of Cebu at the collegiate level and becoming professional with the Cebu Gems of the Metropolitan Basketball Association (MBA). In the 2000 PBA draft, he was a direct hire of Tanduay and was later traded to the San Miguel Beermen, where he won the 2005 and 2009 PBA Fiesta Conferences. In 2013, he won the PBA Commissioner's Cup with the Alaska Aces. He then retired after winning the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) championship in 2018 with San Miguel Alab Pilipinas.
