Donald Cockatoo-Collins (born 1 April 1978) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne in the AFL.

The younger brother of Essendon's Che Cockatoo-Collins, Donald originally played for Port Adelaide but crossed to Victoria when twin brother David Cockatoo-Collins was picked up by Melbourne as a pre-draft selection ahead of the 1995 season. He joined the Central Dragons in the TAC Cup but missed most of the year with a collarbone injury. Melbourne nevertheless picked him up in the first round of the 1995 draft, reuniting him with his twin. Cockatoo-Collins played just a handful of games in each of his first three seasons, and none at all in 1999 after suffering a broken wrist during the pre-season. He was delisted at the end of 1999, having played nine games in four seasons.
