{{Short description|American painter}}
'''Grace Hamilton McIntyre''' (1878–1962) was an American painter of [[portrait miniature]]s.
What little is known of McIntyre's life comes from a manuscript biography written by her daughter, [[Lois Darling]]. She was a native of [[Staten Island]] who moved with her family to Nebraska, where her father was one of the founders of the first beet-sugar business in the United States.  By 1893 she was back in New York City at the [[Veltin School for Girls]] on the Upper West Side.  She did well in china painting, and later also studied the painting of miniatures.  In 1899 she traveled to Europe with her neighbors, the Fabers; on her return she painted miniatures on commission from family and friends.  She married Malcolm McIntyre, a mechanical engineer, in 1910, and ceased painting after Lois, the couple's only child, was born in 1917. Her work was shown at the [[National Academy of Design]] as part of exhibitions by the [[American Society of Miniature Painters]] in 1915 and 1916; after the family moved to [[Riverside, Connecticut|Riverside]], [[Connecticut]], she exhibited in local libraries several times.  A number of her pieces are currently in the collection of the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]].<ref name="N.Y.)Barratt2010">{{cite book|author1=Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)|authorlink2=Carrie Rebora Barratt|author2=Carrie Rebora Barratt|author3=Lori Zabar|title=American Portrait Miniatures in the Metropolitan Museum of Art|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YHKoX40qL7EC|date=1 January 2010|publisher=Metropolitan Museum of Art|isbn=978-1-58839-357-9|page=262}}</ref>
