Seamus Martin "Jim" McDonagh (born 6 October 1952 in Rotherham, England) is currently goalkeeping coach at Aston Villa, having previously held the same position at Coventry City, Mansfield Town F.C., Nottingham Forest F.C.,Millwall F.C., Rotherham United F.C and Leicester City F.C.

McDonagh started his career at his hometown club Rotherham United, and spent a month on loan at Manchester United in 1973, before joining Bolton Wanderers, initially on loan, taking over from the recently departed Barry Siddall. An ever present during the Second Division Championship winning side of 1977-78, he set a club record of conceding only 33 goals in a 42 match season. For the following two seasons in the top flight he was also an ever present and did well enough for Everton to sign him for £250,000 when Bolton were relegated. Within a year Neville Southall had joined Everton from Bury and McDonagh found himself back at Burnden Park. [[1982-83 in English football followed, even with McDonagh managing to score a goal, and he moved on to Notts County for two seasons before moving around a further six English clubs as well as playing for Whichita WIngs in the USA.

It was while he was at Bolton that he received the first of 25 caps for Ireland, thanks to his Irish ancestry.

He was appointed player/manager of Galway United in 1988 when they were in the relegation zone. Despite helping save the club from relegation his contract was unilaterally terminated by United in May 1989.
