Seonaid McIntosh (born 15 March 1996) is a British sports shooter. McIntosh is the daughter of four-times Commonwealth Games medalist Shirley McIntosh and younger sister of British Olympic Shooter Jennifer McIntosh. In 2017 she won the Women's 3x20 Rifle event at the 2017 European Shooting Championships in Baku, becoming European Champion. Sister Jennifer had also won the Women's Prone Rifle earlier in the week, becoming European Champion in that event.
Seonaid shot at school and club level and did not harbour international ambitions until sister Jennifer's success at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and attendance at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Whilst a pupil at Dollar Academy she was a member of the school's winning 2013 team in the NRA's Ashburton Shield, as well as individually winning the School's Hundred that year.
After beginning training in earnest in November 2012, she placed 11th in the Junior Women's 50 Metre Prone Rifle at the ISSF World Shooting Championships - her first major international. At the 2015 10M European Championships in Arnhem she won Silver in the Junior Women's 10 metre Air Rifle, making her the first British Junior in 35 years to medal at a European Championship, and setting a new British Under-21s Record.
At the 2014 Commonwealth Games, she competed in the 10 metre air rifle event, placing 19th.
Seonaid is currently enrolled on the GB Academy Programme, working towards Tokyo 2020.
