Rebecca Jean MacDonald (born March 25, 1974, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island) is a Canadian curler from Stratford, Prince Edward Island.
MacDonald made her first appearance on the curling scene as a skip at the 1991 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, when she would win the Prince Edward Island Junior Curling Championship. She would not find success at the National level, only finishing round robin with a 4-7 record. She would win the provincial championship again in 1992. This time her team would finish round robin with a 7-4 record at the 1992 Canadian Juniors, which was enough to secure a tiebreaker. Her team would lose the tiebreaker to Ontario.
MacDonald would find herself on the national scene again in 1995. She would represent Prince Edward Island at the 1995 Scott Tournament of Hearts. Along with veteran skip Kim Dolan at third, the team would find success finishing fourth in round robin with an 8-3 record. They would eventually lose the 3-4 page playoff game to Alberta’s Cathy Borst. MacDonald would return to the Scott two more times in the 1990s once in 1997 where the team finished with a 5-6 record, and again in 1999, where they would finish with a 6-5 record.
MacDonald would join up with world junior champion Suzanne Gaudet, as her third, as well as with her sister Robyn MacPhee, who was playing second. The team would defeat Kathy O'Rourke in the Provincials playdowns and would represent Prince Edward Island at the 2003 Scott Tournament of Hearts. They would find great success, finishing 10-1 in round robin play, enough to secure first place. They would lose the 1-2 page playoff game to team Canada’s Colleen Jones, and would have a chance to move forward in the semi-final. The team however would lose 5-6 to Newfoundland’s Cathy Cunningham, finishing in third place.
