Donal Martin Canniffe (born 14 August 1949) is an Irish former rugby union international.

Canniffe, the youngest son of Irish hurler Dan Canniffe, was raised in Cork.[1]

A scrum-half, Canniffe played for Cork Constitution, Munster and Lansdowne.[2] He was capped twice for Ireland in the 1976 Five Nations Championship and was the reserve scrum-half to John Robbie on that year's tour of New Zealand, during which he suffered a tour ending ankle injury.[3] In 1978, he was captain of the Munster side that defeated the All Blacks at Thomond Park, then found out after the match that his father had collapsed at half-time and died.[1]
