Donald David Dixon Ronald O'Connor (28 Agustus 1925 – 27 September 2003) adalah seorang penari, penyanyi, dan aktor Amerika. Ia menjadi terkenal melalui serangkaian film yang dibintanginya bersama Gloria Jean, Peggy Ryan, dan Francis the Talking Mule.
O'Connor lahir dalam keluarga vaudeville, di mana ia belajar menari, bernyanyi, bermain komedi, dan melakukan slapstick. Ciri khas yang paling menonjol dari gaya menarinya adalah sifat atletisnya, yang tidak banyak disainginya. Namun, pesona kekanak-kanakannyalah yang paling menarik perhatian penonton, dan yang tetap menjadi aspek menarik dari kepribadiannya sepanjang karirnya. Dalam musikal Universal-nya di awal tahun 1940an, O'Connor adalah seorang remaja yang suka bercanda dan berbicara cepat, seperti Mickey Rooney dari Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Namun pada tahun 1952 dan Singin' in the Rain, MGM telah mengembangkan persona ajudan yang lebih simpatik untuknya, dan itu tetap menjadi ciri khas O'Connor.
Karya paling terkenalnya adalah rutinitas tari "Make 'Em Laugh" dalam Singin' in the Rain (1952), yang membuat O'Connor mendapat penghargaan Golden Globe. Dia juga memenangkan Primetime Emmy Award dari empat nominasi dan menerima dua bintang di Hollywood Walk of Fame.
