Garry McIntosh (born 16 March 1964) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Norwood in the South Australian Football League (SANFL) during the 1980s and 1990s. He won Magarey Medals in 1994 and 1995.

McIntosh primarily played as a centreman or rover and remained loyal to Norwood throughout his career, playing a record 371 games for the club before his retirement in 1998. He was a premiership player with them twice, the first came in his debut season in 1982 and the second in 1984. A third premiership was within his grasp in 1997 but McIntosh missed the grand final through suspension. From 1990 to 1998 he was club captain and in 2002 he returned to Norwood to serve as their senior coach for three seasons. He was drafted by North Melbourne in the 1982 VFL Draft, but chose to stay in South Australia. McIntosh was arguably the finest footballer outside the AFL throughout the 1990s.

A fine interstate player, he represented South Australia 12 times during his career. He won three Fos Williams Medals, in 1984 for his performance against Western Australia, in 1992 against the WAFL and in 1995 against Tasmania.

McIntosh also coached North Launceston to runner-up position in the Tasmanian Statewide League in 2000.

Former North Adelaide and Norwood player Andrew Jarman cited McIntosh as his toughest SANFL opponent. Jarman won the 1987 Magarey Medal the year in which McIntosh polled the most votes, but was ineligible due to suspension.

McIntosh currently coaches Payneham Norwood Union in the SAAFL. He gained promotion from Division One, after a win in the Division Two Grand Final in 2014. The club made the grand final in Division One in 2015, but went down to Goodwood Saints. He also coaches the under 15 'A' Team in for Payneham Norwood Union in the SANFL Juniors.
