Roy Donaldson (February 14, 1911–August 13, 1977) was a Canadian politician. He served as an alderman on Ottawa City Council from 1945 to 1948 and as a controller on the Ottawa Board of Control from 1953 to 1956. He unusccessfully ran for Mayor of Ottawa in the 1958 mayoral election. As an alderman, he was responsible for designating certain movies as "adult" and the establishment of the city's first wading pool at Strathcona Park. While serving on the city's Board of Control, his appointment by Mayor Charlotte Whitton to chair the playground committee "caused a stir among alderman, who felt their powers were being usurped". On the board, he often butted heads with Whitton.
