乔治·麦克唐纳（1824年12月10日- 1905年9月18日），苏格兰作家，诗人，基督教牧师。

麦克唐纳是一位多产的小说家。他以凄美的童话和幻想的作品闻名，他对后来的作家产生影响，如威斯坦·休·奥登，C·S·路易斯，伊迪丝·内斯比特和马德琳·恩格尔。

马克·吐温最初不喜欢麦克唐纳，后来与他成为了朋友，有一些证据表明，马克·吐温受到麦克唐纳的影响。 他的一句名言至今流传：当一种感觉存在的时候，他们感到它好像永远不会离开；当它离开了以后，他们感到它好像从未来过；当它再回来时，他们感到它好像从未离开。

George MacDonald (10 December 1824 – 18 September 1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors including W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle. C. S. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence".
