Robert Henry McIntosh (23 September 1894–1983), also known as All-Weather Mac following his ability to land safely in a six passenger Handley Page 0/400 in dense fog at Croydon Airport in October 1921, was a British wing commander and one of Imperial Airways' 16 original pilots. In 1927, he made unsuccessful attempts to fly at first across the Atlantic with James Fitzmaurice and then to fly to India and back with Bert Hinkler, both on the aircraft Princess Xenia, a Dutch Fokker F.VIIa.
A road, McIntosh Close, in Roundshaw, London Borough of Sutton, is named after him.
