Melissa Iris McIntosh, also known as Melissa Grah-McIntosh, is an Australian politician and a member of the Liberal Party. Born on August 24, 1977, in Penrith, New South Wales, her father, Edmund Grah, immigrated to Australia from Graz, Austria, in the late 1950s.

After graduating from university, McIntosh began her career in politics as an aide to arts and sports minister Jackie Kelly. She also worked in the office of Prime Minister John Howard. From 2011 to 2015, McIntosh worked at the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney as head of partnerships and director of events. Later, she served as the chief of staff to Assistant Treasurer Alex Hawke until 2016, when she joined Wentworth Community Housing as executive manager of communications.
