Quan Lei (; born 13 January 1985 in Dalian, Liaoning) is a Chinese football midfielder.
Quan Lei would start his footballer career playing for Dalian Shide's youth team as well as also playing for the Chinese Under-19 football team in 2003 before graduating to Dalian's senior team in the 2004 league season where he made his league debut on November 11, 2004, against Shanghai Shenhua in a 1–0 win.[1] When Vladimir Petrović became the new Dalian manager he quickly praised Quan and included him as a first team regular within the side that won the league and cup double.
On October 5, 2006, Quan was badly wounded in a knife attack by two assailants and was stabbed eight times in the attack.[2] It was discovered that the two assailants were hired by a disgruntled female fan who had a brief relationship with the player, while all three members involved with the attack were sentenced to three years of imprisonment.[3] Despite the severe injuries he received as well as the court case that followed he resumed training in January 2008.[4] Quan would eventually make his long-awaited return on May 3, 2008, against Wuhan Optics Valley F.C. in a league game that ended in a 1–1 draw, however this was later changed to a 3–0 win to Dalian after Wuhan decided to quit the league.[5]
On 28 January 2016, Quan transferred to China League One club Nei Mongol Zhongyou.[6]
