Brian Peter MacDonell, QSO (born 1935), is a former New Zealand Member of Parliament for Dunedin Central in the South Island.
MacDonell represented the Dunedin Central electorate in Parliament for 21 years from 1963 to 1984.[1] He was Parliamentary Under-Secretary to the Minister of Trade and Industry (1973–1975) and to the Minister of Energy Resources (1974–1975).[2]
The Dunedin Central electorate was abolished in the 1983 electoral redistribution, and the electorate of Dunedin West was established in its place.[3] MacDonell was not selected as the Labour candidate for the new electorate of Dunedin West. He stood as an Independent in the 1984 general election but was not successful.
In the 1993 New Year Honours, MacDonell was made a Companion of the Queen's Service Order for public services.[4]
