Timothy Harley "Tim" Macindoe MP is a New Zealand politician who was elected as a Member of Parliament in 2008 for the Hamilton West electorate. Macindoe represents the National Party.
Macindoe was born in Auckland New Zealand where he was a boarder at King's College and later attended Otago University, where he studied for a BA (Hons) in History. Macindoe has been heavily involved with New Zealand education, most recently as the Deputy Principal at St. Peter's School. Macindoe has also held roles in retail, agriculture and as a prison tutor.
In 2009, Macindoe completed his second degree; an LLB from the University of Waikato.
In 1996 Macindoe unsuccessfully stood for United New Zealand both as its 11th-ranked list candidate and in the Karapiro electorate. He also unsuccessfully stood for the National Party in 1999, 2002, and 2005, for which he was ranked 52nd, 39th, and 62nd respectively.
Macindoe has held numerous roles within the New Zealand National Party, including Chairman of the Hamilton West electorate and four years as deputy chair of National's Central North Island regional organisation. In 2005 he organised a petition which forced the abandonment of a proposal by the New Zealand Labour Party to site an unsecured home for youth offenders opposite Melville High School.
