William Johnson McDonald (21 de diciembre de 1844 – 8 de febrero de 1926, aunque algunas fuentes dan su fecha de muerte el 6 de febrero) fue un banquero de París (Texas), conocido por haber legado en su testamento 850.000 dólares (la mayor parte de su fortuna) al Sistema Universitario de Texas para la fundación de una instalación astronómica, que se acabó designando Observatorio McDonald en su memoria.​ rdf:langString
威廉·约翰逊·麦克唐纳(英語:William Johnson McDonald,1844年12月21日-1926年2月8日(也又报导说他死于2月6日))是美国德克萨斯州拉马尔县巴黎镇的一位银行家,死后将大部分财产(85万美元)捐给了德克萨斯大学系统天文台。 该笔捐赠实属意外,其遗嘱也倍受质疑,但经过长期的法律纠纷,大学收到了这笔捐款。当时,该大学并没开设天文专业,因此,在1932年与芝加哥大学的俄裔天文学家奥托·斯特鲁维合作,设立了天文系。 麦克唐纳天文台就是以他的名字命名的,奥托·斯特鲁维成为首任台长。 他的父母(亨利·格雷厄姆·麦克唐纳和莎拉·约翰逊)共生育有三个儿子,麦克唐纳是他们的长子。年青时曾从军南方部队,后从业律师和金融而致富,但他一生节俭,从未结过婚,也没有孩子。 rdf:langString
William Johnson McDonald (December 21, 1844 – February 8, 1926, though some sources give his date of death as February 6) was a Paris, Texas banker who left $850,000 (the bulk of his fortune) to the University of Texas System to endow an astronomical observatory. The bequest was unexpected, and his will was contested, but after prolonged legal disputes the university received the money. At the time, the university had no faculty of astronomy, so in 1932 it formed a collaboration with Otto Struve at the University of Chicago, who supplied astronomers. rdf:langString

The McDonald Observatory is named after him, with Otto Struve becoming the first director. McDonald was the eldest of the three sons of Sarah Johnson and Henry Graham McDonald of Paris, Texas. As a young man, he was a private in the Confederate Army. He became wealthy through his businesses as a lawyer and a banker, but remained frugal his entire life. He never married and had no children.
