Quentin Townsend (born 13 February, 1977) is an English former footballer who played as a centre back. He played in the Football League for Hereford United.
Townsend began his career as a trainee with Wolverhampton Wanderers, but despite signing professional terms with the club, he never played a first-team match for the club.
He moved to Third Division Hereford United in Summer 1996, on a free transfer, where he reunited with his former Wolves manager Graham Turner.
The defender made his senior debut on 17 August, 1996, in a 0–1 defeat at Fulham, and went on to make ten appearances in total, for the club in the football league. At the end of the season, the team suffered relegation from the Football League and Townsend was released.
After leaving Hereford, Townsend signed for his hometown club Worcester City, before having a good semi pro career, representing a number of non-league clubs in the Midlands.
He now manages Stourport Swift's FC in the Midland Premier Division.
