Archibald MacDonald (Scottish Gaelic: Archibald Mac Dòmhnuill), 7th of Dunnyveg, was the lord of Clan MacDonald of Dunnyveg.
Biography The eldest son of Sir James MacDonald and Lady Agnes Campbell, Archibald received a charter for lands forming a part of the barony of Bar in Kintyre on 5 May 1564 from Mary, Queen of Scots. He took over the lordship after his father's death following his capture during the battle of Glentaisie and imprisoned in Ireland in May 1565.
