Michael Edgeworth McIntyre FRS (born 28 July 1941)[2] is a mathematician and Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Dynamics.

McIntyre has contributed to the fundamental understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics in the Earth's atmosphere, oceans and the Sun's Interior. McIntyre is also known for his contributions to the physics of stringed musical instruments[3][4] and has published several works on lucidity and science.[5][6][7] He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and is the holder of the Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal, the highest honour of the American Meteorological Society, and the Julius Bartels Medal of the European Geophysical Society.

He also received the 2023 Symons Gold Medal from the Royal Meteorological Society for distinguished work in the field of meteorological science.[8]
