Charles Carroll O'Donnell (May 3, 1834 – May 27, 1912) was an American physician, politician and perennial candidate who served as coroner of San Francisco from 1885 to 1887. A founding member of the Workingmen's Party of California, O'Donnell was known for the Anti-Chinese racism that colored most of his campaigns. He ran for office so many times that, upon his death, The San Francisco Call remarked that "a municipal campaign in this city was never complete without Doctor O'Donnell being among the candidates."
