Gerry Quinn (born 24 July 1980 in Dabrien, Kilnaboy, County Clare) is an Irish sportsperson. He played for Corofin and was a member of the Clare senior inter-county team since 2000. He was very highly regarded member of the Clare team and was nominated for two All star awards in 2002 and 2005[1] He was dropped early 2009 from the Clare panel by manager Mike McNamara but was reinstated the same year by manager Ger O'Loughlin.[2]

In August 2004, Quinn was involved in an incident that left Henry Shefflin (Kilkenny) requiring an operation. In a clash, Quinn hit Shefflin in the eye. Shefflin accepted an apology.[3]
