Steve Donahue is the current Head Coach of Mens basketball at Boston College.

A native of Springfield Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania and a former player at Ursinus College, Donahue previously served as Head Coach at Cornell University, an assistant coach at Penn (University of Pennsylvania#Athletics), Philadelphia University, Monsignor Bonner High School, and Springfield High School. He had been the head coach at Cornell from September 2000 until April 6, 2010.

Recent highlights of the Cornell basketball program under Donahue include a March 1, 2008 defeat of the Harvard Crimson (Harvard University) to win the Ivy League championship for the first time since 1988 and just the second title in program history. On March 6, 2009, with Princetons loss to Columbia, Cornell clinched the Ivy League Championship for a second consecutive year. It was the first time in 50 years that any team other than Penn or Princeton had won consecutive Ivy League titles in basketball.

Exactly one year later on March 6, 2010, Donahues Cornell team defeated the Brown Bears to clinch their third consecutive title and fourth in team history. This guaranteed an automatic bid for Cornell in the 2010 NCAA basketball tournament, in which Cornell was given a 12-seed in the East region. Cornell went on to win two games in the tournament, defeating 5-seed Temple and then 4-seed Wisconsin, both victories by double digit margins, to advance to the Sweet 16, the first Ivy League team to advance this far since 1979 (when Penn reached the final four). There they fell to the 1-seed Kentucky Wildcats, ending their historic run. This team featured several lauded seniors, including point guard Louis Dale, who finished as the third highest scorer and top assistman in Cornell history; center Jeff Foote, whose presence in the middle was essential to Cornells success; and forward Ryan Wittman, who finished as the top scorer in Cornell mens basketball history (and the 5th highest scorer overall in Ivy Leagues mens basketball history) at 2,028 points.

Donahue received the Clair Bee Coach of the Year Award for his accomplishments during the 2009-2010 season.

On April 6th, 2010, Boston College announced that Donohue had been hired as the head coach of its basketball program, replacing coach Al Skinner.
