Clayton Cecil 'Chick' Donnelley (1923–1998) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s.
Originally a La Perouse junior, Donnelley was graded at St George Dragons in the mid-1940s. A big raw-boned lock-forward, he played two years of first grade with St George between 1946 and 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]
Donnelley died on 30 November 1998.[3]
