James McLaughlin "Jimmy" McIntosh (5 April 1918 – 2000) was a Scottish professional footballer and manager. As a player McIntosh was a fast, strong, stocky, forward.
McIntosh began his professional career with Joe Smith's Blackpool in 1935. At 17 years 169 days he became the then youngest player to appear in Blackpool's first team when he made his debut on 21 September 1935, in a single-goal defeat at Swansea Town. He made only three more appearances in the 1935–36 campaign; indeed, he wasn't selected again until the opening game of the 1936–37 season.
In 1937 he joined Blackpool's arch-rivals Preston North End. He was part of a deal that brought Frank O'Donnell to the club, with Dickie Watmough joining McIntosh on his way to Deepdale. He made 27 league appearances and scored three goals.
After World War II (during which McIntosh turned out for Chester City), McIntosh returned to Blackpool, who were still under the management of Joe Smith. He appeared in the first 26 and final two games of the 1946–47 league season, scoring five goals in the process (including one in a 3–2 victory over that season's eventual champions, Liverpool, at Bloomfield Road on 30 November 1946).
In 1947–48, on 1 November 1947, he scored both goals in another home victory over Liverpool. He also scored the only goal in a home victory over Aston Villa on 31 January 1948 and five in a 7–0 victory at his former club Preston on 1 May.
