John Randal McDonald (?-2003) was an American architect of the late 20th century. Born in Wisconsin, McDonald designed a large number of houses in the greater Milwaukee area. Although the majority of his houses were built in Wisconsin, he also designed many houses in surrounding states, including Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan.

Althouth McDonald possessed a very unique sense of style and position when it came to designing houses, he was not very skilled at managing the affordability of his designs. Consequently, many of his designs were never built.

McDonald had many apprentices in his career; the last was Tom Bloczynski of Marshfield, Wisconsin. Bloczynski remained until McDonald's death in December 2003, and subsequently completed McDonald's unfinished projects.
