Blake "Mac"[1] MacDonald (born April 10, 1976) is a Canadian curler from St. Albert, Alberta.

For much of the team's history, MacDonald threw last rock for the team, while Koe held the broom. The two switched in 2009, with MacDonald throwing third rocks, but Koe still skipping. MacDonald has been playing with Koe since 2006. Prior to that, he threw fourth rocks for Jamie King. MacDonald has also skipped, and was also a member of the Ken Hunka and Brent MacDonald teams in the past.

The Koe rink has been one of the best teams in the country, recently, but have come short in major competitions. The team did however win the Canada Cup of Curling in 2008. They won their first Brier in 2010, beating Ontario's Glenn Howard in the final, 6–5. MacDonald also played in the 1999 Labatt Brier, playing second for Hunka. The team finished 5–6.

MacDonald left Kevin Koe's team at the end of the 2010–2011 season and retired from professional curling.[2] MacDonald returned to sit at the alternate for Koe during the 2012 Boston Pizza Cup. MacDonald will accompanied team Koe to the 2012 Tim Hortons Brier, as their alternate player.

MacDonald returned to competitive curling for the 2012–2013 season playing third for Jamie King, along with Scott Pfeifer and Jeff Erickson.
