Anthea Elizabeth Joy McIntyre, CBE (born 29 June 1954) is a British Conservative Party politician who served as a Member of the European Parliament for the West Midlands from 2011 to 2020.

McIntyre stood unsuccessfully for parliament as a Conservative for Redditch in the 1997 general election and for Shrewsbury and Atcham in the 2001 general election. She was also unsuccessful as a Conservative candidate in the 2009 European election for the West Midlands constituency,but in December 2011 she was appointed to serve as a member for that constituency in the European Parliament without a new election. This was because the Lisbon Treaty had enlarged the European Parliament by eighteen,and one of these new seats came to the United Kingdom. Britain decided to allocate this to the West Midlands regional constituency,on the basis of population statistics. The results of the 2009 European elections were then considered to decide who would have won the additional seat if it had existed then. The result of this was that it was awarded to McIntyre.[ citation needed ]

McIntyre was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2022 New Year Honours for political and public service. [2]
