Jessica McDonald is an American soccer forward known for her perseverance and contributions to women's soccer. As a student-athlete, McDonald was named an NJCAA First-Team All-American and the NJCAA Women's Soccer Player of the Year. She transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she won two NCAA national championships on a full soccer scholarship before being drafted to play professionally.

She played for several NWSL clubs, including Chicago Red Stars, Seattle Reign, Portland Thorns, Houston Dash, Western New York Flash, North Carolina Courage, and Racing Louisville.
