Don Starkell was a Canadian adventurer, diarist and author, perhaps best known for his achievements in canoeing. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, he had a difficult childhood including an abusive father, four and a half years in an orphanage, and later with a foster family in North Kildonan.

He took up canoeing in his teens and competed professionally, including as part of the Manitoba team that won the Expo 67 Centennial Voyageur Canoe Pageant race.

In 1980–1982, Starkell and his two sons canoed from Winnipeg, Canada, to Belem, Brazil, a distance of 19,603 kilometers. In 1990, Starkell attempted to kayak the Northwest Passage.
