Timothy Anthony McDonnell (born December 23, 1937) is a retired American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the eighth Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield, Massachusetts from 2004 to 2014.

Timothy McDonnell was born in New York City to the late John J. and Margaret (née Looney) McDonnell, who were both from County Cork, Ireland. The eldest of two children, he has a younger brother, John, who is a member of the Marist Brothers and currently serves as vice-provincial of his order's United States Province. His father was a dockworker for Standard Oil in Brooklyn and later owned a gas station in the Bronx.

McDonnell attended parochial schools in the Bronx, and was inspired by his great-uncle to pursue a vocation to the priesthood. He then studied at Cathedral College and St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, from where he obtained a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy in 1959.
