Donfeld (born Donald Lee Feld; July 3, 1934 – February 3, 2007) was a four-time Oscar-nominated American costume designer known for his work on films such as Spaceballs, Prizzi's Honor and The Great Race.

In addition, he made the costumes for the action adventure fantasy television series Wonder Woman, for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1978.{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-feb-08-me-donfeld8-story.html|title=Donfeld, 72; Oscar-nominated Hollywood costume designer|work=Los Angeles Times|date=February 8, 2007|access-date=March 23, 2014|author=Mary Rourke}}

Donfeld attended Chouinard Art Institute before he went to work for Capitol Records at age 19, designing album cover art. He stated he changed his name early in his career, because his last name was often misspelled in print. One of his first Hollywood assignments in the late 1950s, was to create costumes for Academy Award show production numbers. {{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-feb-08-me-donfeld8-story.html|title=Donfeld, 72; Oscar-nominated Hollywood costume designer|work=Los Angeles Times|date=February 8, 2007|access-date=March 23, 2014|author=Mary Rourke}}

Along with his costume work, he was known for his draftsman’s skills. One colleague stated "His costume sketches are works of art.” {{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-feb-08-me-donfeld8-story.html|title=Donfeld, 72; Oscar-nominated Hollywood costume designer|work=Los Angeles Times|date=February 8, 2007|access-date=March 23, 2014|author=Mary Rourke}}
