Peter Quinn (1925 – 30 January 2016), also credited as Peter Quinlan, was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a wing-back for the Mayo senior team.

Born near Ballina, County Mayo, Quinn was introduced to Gaelic football during his schooling at St. Muredach's College. At club level he first lined out as a minor with Ardnaree before later joining the senior team.

Quinn made his debut on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Mayo senior team. He went on to play a key role during a hugely successful era, and won two All-Ireland medals and four Connacht medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

Quinn retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 1951 championship.
