Donald Charles Cleverley (23 December 1909 – 16 February 2004) was a New Zealand cricketer. A right-arm fast-medium bowler born in Otago, he played domestic first-class cricket for Auckland in 21 seasons, from 1930-1 to 1951-2, before playing a final season in 1952-3 for Central Districts. He played two Tests for the New Zealand cricket team, the first in 1932 and the second in 1946. On the death of M. J. Gopalan in 2003, he became the oldest living Test cricketer. He died in Southport, Queensland at the age of 94.

Cleverley also played for Taranaki in the Hawke Cup.
