Vincent Churchill "Manny" McIntyre (October 4, 1918 – June 13, 2011) was a Canadian professional athlete who played both ice hockey and baseball. He is an inductee of the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame, Canada's Sports Hall of Fame, and the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.

McIntyre was a member of the "Black Aces", the first all-black line in professional hockey,[1] with brothers Ossie and Herb Carnegie. They played together in various leagues including one season in France where they became a big draw and helped set an attendance record for French ice hockey. In 1946, McIntyre became the first Black Canadian to play professional baseball,[2] as a shortstop for the Sherbrooke Canadians of the Border League.
