Don Baker (born 26 August 1950) is an Irish blues musician and actor.

Baker was born in Whitehall, Dublin. He is a singer-songwriter who plays the harmonica and the guitar. He appeared in several films, his most notable appearance being in In the Name of the Father. He also published harmonica instruction books and videos.

In August 2008, he starred in RTÉ's reality show Fáilte Towers,[1] finishing in a respectable third place, earning huge amounts of money for his charity "Health Action Overseas". After the show, Baker asked fellow contestant Donna (from Donna and Joseph McCaul) to perform a concert with him at the Helix the following month.[2]
