Seamus McIntyre (1971–2001) was a dual player from Kenmare, County Kerry. He had been an outstanding campaigner with the Kerry hurlers in the 1990s, playing against top teams such as Clare, Offaly, Tipperery, Kilkenny, Galway and Waterfprd to name a few. He also played with the Kerry junior football team during this time winning a Munster Junior Football Championship medal with them in 1995.

He played with the Kenmare club before his work with the Garda Síochána took him to County Galway where he joined the Gort club and later to County Cork where he joined Ballincollig.

To date he has been the only person to captain a Garda College team to a Fitzgibbon Cup Final in 1997 when they lost out to UCC.

He died in a road accident in Cork city in 2001 along with fellow Kerryman and Garda George Rice.

An Annual hurling tournament in his name is played each year between Garda teams from around the country.
