David Donato (born 7 September 1970)[2] is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Australian Football League (AFL).[3]

Donato was taken at pick three in the 1990 AFL Draft, behind Stephen Hooper and fellow Tasmanian James Cook.[4] Like them, Donato had only a brief league career, with all his games coming in the second half of the 1991 season, from which he averaged 12 disposals.[5]

He finished his football career back at his original club, Clarence.
