Margaret L. "Maggie" McIntosh (born December 22, 1947) is an American politician from the state of Maryland. The outgoing Chairman of the Environmental Matters Committee and incoming Chairman of the Appropriation Committee of the Maryland House of Delegates, she has been a member of the House of Delegates since November 1992. She is a former Baltimore City Public School teacher who now chairs one of the six standing committees of the Maryland House of Delegates. A Democrat, she represents the state's 43rd district in Baltimore City.
McIntosh received her Bachelor’s Degree in arts education from Wichita State University in 1970 and her Master of Science degree from the Johns Hopkins University in 1987. An educator, she taught art in the Baltimore City Public Schools from 1972–78, before becoming an adjunct instructor of continuing education at Catonsville Community College (now known as the Catonsville campus of the Community College of Baltimore County).
She would later spend nine years working for the City of Baltimore at the Commission on Aging and Retirement Education, serving from 1985 to 1988 as the Director of Pre-Retirement Education. During that time, she was heavily involved in Democratic campaigns, including those of Michael Dukakis and Barbara Mikulski. She was elected as a delegate to both the 1980 and 2008 Democratic National Conventions, the latter as a delegate pledged to Hillary Clinton.
