Dewey Dupree McDonald (born June 10, 1990) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the California Vulcans, and signed with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent following the 2014 NFL draft. He was also a member of the New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders, and Seattle Seahawks.

McDonald was a three-time all-conference player, three-time all-area and two-time team MVP while playing at Jefferson High School in Shenandoah Junction, West Virginia. As a junior, he was named Defensive Player of the Year by The Journal. The newspaper also named him Male Field Athlete of the Year in his senior year, during which he was part of the high school's state championship in track and field.

McDonald transferred to the California University of Pennsylvania in 2012 after playing three seasons at Fairmont State University in Fairmont, West Virginia. After missing the 2012 season due to injury, he was a senior captain for the Vulcans in 2013. In his senior year, he recorded 89 tackles and returned all three of his interceptions for touchdowns. His three interception returns for touchdowns made him the first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference player to accomplish the feat in over 10 years.

McDonald signed with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent after the 2014 NFL draft. After starting the 2014 season on the team's practice squad, he was signed to the active roster on September 29. He appeared in 12 games during his rookie season, recording 10 tackles, including 8 solo. He also appeared in three playoff games for the team that season, recording one tackle in each.

On September 5, 2015, McDonald was waived by the Colts. He was added to the practice squad the following day. He was elevated to the active roster on October 20. He appeared in one game and recorded one tackle.

On October 27, 2015, McDonald was waived by the Colts to make room on the active roster for Quan Bray.

On October 28, 2015, McDonald was claimed off waivers by the New England Patriots. He played one game with the Patriots before being waived on November 12. He was signed to the team's practice squad on November 14, but was released four days later.
