Donald Baxter MacMillan (November 10, 1874 – September 7, 1970) was an American explorer, sailor, researcher and lecturer who made over 30 expeditions to the Arctic during his 46-year career.

He pioneered the use of radios, airplanes, and electricity in the Arctic and put together a dictionary of the Inuktitut language. His expeditions produced Inuit films, photographs of Arctic scenes, and audio recordings of Inuit language, thousands of which were taken by Miriam MacMillan.

In 1921, he designed the Bowdoin schooner (named for Bowdoin College), which sailed to the Arctic two dozen times.
