McIntyre H. Sandlin (February 1870 – October 31, 1955), was a Democratic politician from Minden in Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana.
Sandlin was the older of two sons of Nicholas J. Sandlin, originally from North Carolina, and the former Irene McIntyre (1840-1922), a Louisiana native and the daughter of Dr. Alexander McIntyre, one of the first physicians in Webster Parish. Nicholas Sandlin served in the Army of Northern Virginia under Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and was wounded and taken prisoner in the American Civil War. In Louisiana, he was active in the overthrow of the Carpetbagger government. He was district attorney of a tract of land stretching from the Red to the Ouachita rivers. Years later, he represented Webster Parish in the state legislature from 1892 to 1893 but stepped down to accept appointment from U.S. President Grover Cleveland as the postmaster at Minden. The former Nicholas J. Sandlin Camp near Minden was named in his honor by the organization, Sons of Confederate Veterans."
