Alistair Donohoe (born 3 March 1995) is an Australian para-cyclist with a right arm impairment. He is a multiple medallist at the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships and UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships. He won silver medals in the Men's Individual Pursuit C5 and Men's Road Time Trial at the 2016 Rio Paralympics.
Donohoe was born on 3 March 1995 in Nhulunbuy, Northern Territory. In 2009, at the age of fifteen, he injured his right bricep/triceps as a result of his arm getting caught in a rope whilst trying to jump into a creek from a tree. This led to limited use in his right arm. He attended Xavier College. He lives in Melbourne, Victoria.
He took up competitive cycling in 2010 after participating in rugby union, BMX and triathlon. His love of cycling was an outcome from his time as a triathlete in Darwin, Northern Territory. He competes in both abled bodied and para-cycling. It was Michael Gallagher who after noticing Donohoe's derformed arm suggested that he consider para cycling. In para-cycling, he is classified as C5. At the 2013, UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships, he won bronze medals in Men’s Time Trial C5 and Men’s Road Race C5. Competing at the 2014 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Aguascaliente, Mexico, he won bronze medals in the Men's C5 1 km time Trial (1:03.788) and the Men's C-1-5 scratch race exhibition final. In 2014, at UCI Para-cycling World Championships in Greenville, South Carolina, he won the gold medal in the Men’s Road Race C5 and finished sixth in the Men’s Time Trial.
