Wilbert McIntyre (July 15, 1867 – July 21, 1909) was a politician and medical doctor from Alberta, Canada.

Born in Rosedale, Ontario, Wilbert was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in a 1906 by-election in the Strathcona electoral district by-election on April 5, 1906. He became the first member of the House of Commons elected directly to Alberta.

McIntyre would be returned to a second term in office in the 1908 Canadian federal election but would die just a year later vacating his seat on July 21, 1909.

Dr. Wilbert McIntyre park in Edmonton, Alberta is named in his honor.
