Clayton Cecil 'Chick' Donnelley (1923–1998) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s.

Originally a La Perouse junior, 'Chick' Donnelley was graded at St George Dragons in the mid 1940s. A big raw-boned lock-forward, 'Chick' Donnelley played two years of first grade with St George between 1946-1947. He featured in the 1946 Grand Final team that was defeated by Balmain Tigers 13-12 as the replacement lock forward for the injured Walter Mussing.[1][2]

He died on 30 November 1998.[3]
