Donald Norman MacLeod (17 November 1932 – 29 May 2008) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Canterbury, Central Districts and Wellington between 1956 and 1968.[1]

An right-handed batsman who often opened the innings, MacLeod scored a century on his first-class debut in December 1956 for Central Districts against Wellington, when he made 117: "while he was at the wicket the crowd were entertained by some glorious strokes, and late in his innings, some confident but heart-stopping short runs".[2] He made his highest score in 1957–58, when he made 135 for Central Districts against Auckland.[3] He also played Hawke Cup cricket for five North Island teams between 1957 and 1975.[4]
