Donal of the Skins or Hides, also called Peltry O'Donovan or simply Donal I O'Donovan, was The O'Donovan Mor, Lord of Clancahill from his inauguration with the White Wand circa 1560 by the MacCarthy Reagh, Prince of Carbery, to his death in 1584. Although not recorded his inaugurator was probably Cormac na Haoine MacCarthy Reagh, 10th Prince of Carbery.

He was the son of Teige of Dromasta, The O'Donovan Mor, and Helena O'Donovan, daughter of Denis O'Donovan MacEnesles of Moyny.

He was not raised as an O'Donovan, but was instead fostered by the O'Leary of Carrignacurra. Donal married his foster father's daughter, Ellen O'Leary, and upon coming of age, pronounced himself as an O'Donovan, and seized the chieftainship by force of arms. By his marriage to Ellen, his foster sister, he had Diarmaid O'Donovan, who was hanged for raiding in their territory by the forces of Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare in 1581, Teige and "other sons", who in 1592 were declared illegitimate (i.e., not bastards) by the Lord Chancellor Adam Loftus. He was followed in the chieftainship of Clan Cahill by his son, Donal, upon his death in 1584. His son Donal II O'Donovan was recognized as chief of Clan Cahill by his then father in law, MacCarthy Reagh. The younger Teige attempted to contest the succession, alleging Donal II was a bastard, but failed in his attempt.
