Hoani MacDonald (born 21 August 1978) is a former New Zealand rugby union player who played provincial rugby for Southland, and as well as the Highlanders in Super Rugby.

In September 2008, he joined Welsh side the Newport Gwent Dragons in the Magners League.[1]

On 20 October 2012, MacDonald suffered a cardiac arrest in a match for Southland against Counties Manukau in an ITM Cup semi final. He had CPR performed on the pitch, before being transferred to hospital and placed in an induced coma.[3] MacDonald was in hospital for one week and doctors fitted him with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. As a result, he retired from playing rugby.[4]
