Douglas Charles McIntosh (23 March 1916 – 25 December 1976) was New Zealand's fifth Chief Censor of Films from 1960 until his death on Christmas Day, 1976.[1] In this role, he applied the Cinematograph Films Act 1928 to films; initially this was the 1961 version of the Act, then just before his death it was replaced by the 1976 Act.
McIntosh was born on 23 March 1916 in Karori, a suburb of Wellington. He married Mable Agnes Mildred Western (Picton) and they had one son and two daughters. He died 25 December 1976 in Karori.
A follower of Cricket and Rugby Union, he coached a local Karori rugby team, regularly buying boots for players who could not afford them.
