Terry O'Donnell (born November 1, 1963) is an American politician and a member of the Republican Party who served as the Oklahoma House Representative for the 23rd district from January 8, 2013, to November 20, 2024. He first won elected office in the 2012 Oklahoma state elections. In January 2021, O'Donnell was promoted to be the speaker pro tempore of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, the second highest ranking Republican Party of Oklahoma member in the state house. On December 17, 2021, O'Donnell was indicted in relation to a tag agency corruption scandal.
