Donald Walter Webster (July 3, 1924 – April 12, 1978) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 27 games in the National Hockey League with the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1943–44 season. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1942 to 1953, was spent in various minor leagues. Webster was born in Toronto, Ontario, and his older brother of Chick, also played in the NHL.
Following his playing career, Webster began a television career in various station management roles in central California, and was instrumental as a league official and referee in the Cal-Neva Hockey League, the precursor to the Pacific Southwest Hockey League.
