Gordon Henry Alexander "Gord" Mackintosh MLA (born July 7, 1955) is a retired politician in Manitoba, Canada. Mackintosh was born in Fort Frances, Ontario, and was educated at the University of Manitoba. He trained as a lawyer, and was called to the bar in 1988.
Mackintosh worked for the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Manitoba Human Rights Commission between 1979 and 1984, and also worked as Deputy Clerk of the Manitoba Legislature from 1980 to 1984. He was chair of the Patient's Rights Committee from 1986 to 1992, and was a member of the Rainbow Society and the Manitoba Anti-Poverty Organization. In his legal career, he specialized in environmental issues, and was also an assistant to Elijah Harper during the Meech Lake constitutional debates of 1990.
Mackintosh entered provincial politics in September 1993, winning a by-election in the north Winnipeg riding of St. Johns (replacing Judy Wasylycia-Leis, who resigned to run for the federal House of Commons). Mackintosh won 3232 votes, compared to 878 for his nearest opponent, Liberal Naty Yenkech. In the provincial election of 1995, Mackintosh was re-elected in St. Johns with 4513 votes, against 1610 for Liberal Bron Gorski. The general election was won by Gary Filmon's Progressive Conservatives, and Mackintosh joined 22 other New Democrats in the official opposition.
