Map showing the electoral division of McIntyre, as of the 2017 periodic review.

[1] The electoral division of McIntyre is one of the fifteen electorates in the Tasmanian Legislative Council, it includes Flinders Island, the northern east coast of Tasmania, and regional areas south and west of Launceston.

It is named after Margaret McIntyre, who was the first woman to be elected into the Parliament of Tasmania in 1948.

The new name of McIntyre was adopted to avoid confusion because of the significant changes made to the electoral boundaries in the region.

[2] As a result of the changes made following the 2016–17 Legislative Council redistribution process, the single-seat electorate of McIntyre was temporarily assigned two MLCs, Greg Hall and Tania Rattray, until the expiration of Hall's term in 2018.
