Robert Ian Fanshawe McIntosh (19 August 1907 – 21 March 1988) was an English cricketer born in Darjeeling, India. He was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium-fast.

McIntosh was educated at Uppingham School in Rutland, where he played for the school cricket team[1] and for three years he was the mainstay of their bowling attack, captaining the side in 1926, a season in which he took 45 wickets at a bowling average of 11.45.[2] He later went to University College, Oxford, where he played for the University Cricket Club, making his first-class debut in 1927 against the Harlequins.[3] 1927 was also the year that McIntosh played his only first-class match for the West of England when they played the touring New Zealanders at the County Ground, Exeter;[4] additionally in 1927 he also made three appearances for Devon in the Minor Counties Championship.[5] From 1927 to 1929, McIntosh made 21 first-class appearances for Oxford University, playing his final match for them against Surrey.[3]

McIntosh received his Oxford Blue in his first year of 1927, thanks largely to an injury to Walter McBride, and in 1928.[2] Poor health and having to bowl on over-prepared wickets which led to a poor bowling season for him in 1929 ruled him out of contention for a Blue in that year.[3] A bowler, he took 62 wickets in total for the University. These came at an average of 34.33 and included two five wicket hauls, with best figures of 5/52.[6]

McIntosh later returned to the British Raj, where he played a single first-class match each for the Europeans (India) against the Indians and for Madras against the Marylebone Cricket Club, both in 1934.[3] He died in Budleigh Salterton, Devon on 21 March 1988.
