Edward Quinn (May 1923 – 22 May 2019) was an Irish hurler who played as a left wing-back for the Galway senior team.[1]
Born in Ardrahan, County Galway, Quinn first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Galway minor team. He made his senior debut during the 1949-50 league. Quinn immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen, and won one National Hurling League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
Quinn was a member of the Connacht inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, however, he never won a Railway Cup medal. At club level he is a one-time championship medallist with Ardrahan.

Quinn had two daughters; Irene and Ena.[1] He died in Galway on 22 May 2019, at the age of 96.[2]
