Airini Donnelly (c.1855 – 7 June 1909) was a New Zealand tribal leader and landowner. Of Māori descent, she identified with the Ngati Kahungunu iwi.
She was born in Puketapu, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, and was the great-niece of Tareha Te Moananui. Following her marriage to George Donnelly in 1877, she became relatively wealthy, and fell out with some of her Maori relations when she became involved in a dispute over land ownership.
