Donald Eugene Cardwell (December 7, 1935 – January 14, 2008) was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for five National League teams from 1957 to 1970. He was the first pitcher in major league history to pitch a no-hitter in his first game after being traded, hurling a 4-0 win on May 15, 1960, just two days after being traded from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Chicago Cubs.
