Macintyre Shire was a local government area in the North West Slopes region of New South Wales, Australia.

Macintyre Shire was proclaimed on 7 March 1906, one of 134 shires created after the passing of the Local Government (Shires) Act 1905.[1] On 15 November 1940, the shire absorbed the neighbouring Bannockburn Shire.[2]

The shire offices were based in Inverell.[3] Other towns and villages in the shire included Delungra, Gilgai, Stannifer and Wandera.[3][4]

The Shire was amalgamated with the Municipality of Inverell and Ashford Shire to form Inverell Shire on 1 July 1979.[5]
