Sean Vincent Joseph Quinlan (13 October 1934 — January 2018) was an Irish international rugby union player.

Quinlan was born in Cork and was educated at Dublin's Blackrock College.[1]

A wing three-quarter, Quinlan was capped four times for Ireland, with three appearances in the 1956 Five Nations, before returning for a match against France two years later.[2] He then switched to rugby league, signing with English club Oldham for the 1958–59 season.[3] Due to persistent knee injuries, Quinlan could only put together 11 first team appearances over three seasons.[4]
