Kevin Joseph Quinn (14 March 1923  - 1 May 2002) was an Irish first-class cricketer and rugby union international.

Born at Gort in County Galway, Quinn was educated at Belvedere College in Dublin, before studying medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons.[1] While studying there, he played rugby union for Old Belvedere and won five Test caps for Ireland.[1] The first of these came against France in the 1947 Five Nations Championship.[2] A further Test that year against Australia followed at Lansdowne Road, before earning three further caps in the 1953 Five Nations Championship.[3]

Playing club cricket for Phoenix in Dublin, Quinn later made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland in 1957 at College Park, Dublin.[4] He made two further first-class appearances for Ireland, in 1958 against Scotland at Alloway, and Leicestershire at Leicester on Ireland's 1959 tour of England.[4] He scored 49 runs across his three matches, with a top score of 25.[5] He worked as a doctor outside of sports.[1] Two of his brothers, Frank Quinn and Gerry Quinn, both played cricket for Ireland;[1] additionally, Gerry also played international rugby union for Ireland. Quinn died at Dublin in May 2002.[6]
