Frank Westbrook McIntosh (August 6, 1879 – July 4, 1951) was a Manitoba politician who served in the Legislative Assembly from 1932 to 1936 as a Liberal-Progressive. His father, John McIntosh, had been a Liberal MLA from 1896 to 1899. Frank was born in Lorne Mills, Ontario, and grew up in Manitou, Manitoba. His mother was Elizabeth Westbrook. He worked as a farmer, served on the municipal council for three years, and was reeve for the Rural Municipality of Pembina for seven years between 1921 and 1932. In 1930, he earned a Master Farmer diploma and medal.

In the 1932 provincial election, he won the Manitou seat, defeating Conservative incumbent Joseph Lusignan by 492 votes. The Liberal-Progressives won that year, and McIntosh served as a backbench supporter of John Bracken's government. He was defeated in the 1936 election, losing to Conservative Hugh Morrison by 351 votes. McIntosh died in Winnipeg at the age of 71.
