Joe Quaid, born on 10 April 1972 in Feohanagh, County Limerick, is an Irish hurling manager and former player who managed the Westmeath senior team in 2019. Introduced to hurling by his father, an All-Ireland medal winner with the Limerick junior team, he played at school with Newcastle West Vocational School and with Feohanagh before transferring from the club's senior team to Murroe-Boher, where he won one championship medal. After little success with the Limerick minor and under-21 sides he made his senior debut in the 1994 championship and played a key role for Limerick as goalkeeper, winning two Munster medals and two National Hurling League medals and finishing as an All-Ireland runner-up twice. With Munster he won two Railway Cup medals. He retired after the 2000 championship, returned two years later for one final season, and later became manager of the Kildare senior team on 6 October 2015.
